Muscle Strength in Obese Adult Females During Weight Loss

DAVID PARGMAN PH.D. and JOSEPH FELDSCHUH M.D.

Strength of the right elbow flexors, right knee extensors, and right grip, was studied during a period of weight loss in 25 obese adult females. Each subject lost frac13 of her number of overweight pounds during a period of approximately 12 weeks. Strength was tested prior to weight loss and when subjects lost the following percentages of overweight pounds: 8, 16, 24, and 33frac13. Twenty-four hour urine samples were analyzed every 4 weeks in order to determine if any change in urine creatinine occured during weight loss.

No significant changes in strength were observed during the weight-loss regimen, nor was any significant change in urine creatinine concentration noted.
