Obesity study finds cardio + weight training best for teens.
Canadian study I did the analysis for. Published today and therefore hit media pretty big this morning.

The first is the news clip on canada am, the second was kinda cool since it interviewed my colleagues + a participant in the study who then went on to lose over 100 pounds after being inspired by her results.
I should mention that although the results might seem obvious, this type of research is hard to come by for any definitive answers. Media will focus on certain aspects, but the study collected much more information and will likely see many more interesting conclusions from the research. I get a kick out of certain comments like 'yeah, why spend over a million to find this out - may as well just use that money to buy exercise equipment for schools'.
This study will cost fractions of a million for each conclusion made from it, and from there, we might finally get the government into funding education / physical education where it needs to be. It's easy to just ignore the obvious until this type of research comes about.
