Following up on DoctorK's message: The interview is from the podcast of Thursday 08-13-09, 8AM Hour.
It would be interesting if there was a softcopy of the interview transcript available. I listened to the interview, and from what I can remember, Church made the following points about the details of the study that were omitted from the article: - In the two groups of women that exercised 75 or 150 min./wk, the weight loss was what was expected/hypothesized.
- In the group of women that exercised 200 min./wk., there were a number of women who barely lost anything, defying predictions, and skewing the results for that group to losing only half of what was expected.
- The variation of weight loss in response to exercise is to be expected.
- Recommending against PE classes for children, as the article author did, is completely insane.
I think Church loses some credibility, though, when he asserted, essentially, that correlation is causation, i.e., studies show that people who keep off weight 18-24 months all exercise. Further, when pressed by the interviewers, he stated that eating more was the cause of our increase in obesity rates.
