Objective: To measure adherence to a specific exercise prescription (1500 kcal week(-1)) by objectively quantifying unsupervised exercise energy expenditure (ExEE) in obese women.Design: The 16-week lifestyle intervention consisted of weekly meetings with research staff and promotion of increased ExEE (1500 kcal week(-1)) and a decreased dietary intake (-500 kcal day(-1)).Participants: Twenty-nine obese females (body mass index 36.8 +/- 5.0 kg m(-2), body fat 49.6 +/- 3.7%) from a hospital-based lifestyle intervention were included in the analysis.Measurements: ExEE was estimated and monitored weekly using heart rate monitoring, and body composition was measured before and after the intervention by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.Results: Free-living adherence to the exercise prescription was variable and, on average, modest such that 14% achieved 1500 kcal week(-1), and the average weekly ExEE (768 kcal week(-1)) represented 51.2% of the total amount prescribed. ExEE was correlated with changes in body weight (r = 0.65, P
