Analysis of covariance of exercise variables, adjusted for age and baseline BMI by weight loss group

	< 5% (n = 20)		≥5% (n = 31)		p
	Baseline	6 Months	Baseline	6 Months
AEE (kcal/week) (M ± SD)	332.37 ± 270.14	203.14 ± 161.85	364.97 ± 201.19	451.75 ± 301.73	0.012
Physical activity duration (min/week) (M ± SD)	60.00 ± 49.72	33.71 ± 23.30	67.10 ± 35.32	93.89 ± 69.00	0.012

The p-value refers to the association of weight loss group with the 6-month measure, when the baseline measure, age and baseline BMI are included in the model
