Regular exercise, particularly high-volume activity, aids in preventing and treating obesity by creating a sustained negative energy balance. Long-term adherence is crucial for significant weight loss and managing metabolic complications in obese individuals.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise physiology
  • Obesity research
  • Metabolic health

Background:

  • Obesity is a complex metabolic disorder with significant health implications.
  • Regular physical activity is recognized for its role in weight management and disease prevention.
  • Understanding the specific impact of exercise on obesity and its complications is vital for public health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evidence for regular exercise in obesity prevention and treatment.
  • To examine the role of exercise in managing metabolic complications associated with obesity.
  • To evaluate the necessary volume, intensity, and duration of exercise for effective weight management.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of scientific literature on exercise and obesity.

  • Analysis of propositions concerning exercise's role in energy balance and metabolism.
  • Evaluation of studies on the long-term effects of exercise training on body weight and metabolic parameters.

    • Main Results:

    • High-volume, regular exercise (daily, low-to-moderate intensity, ≥1 hour/session) is key for sustained negative energy balance.
    • Significant weight and fat loss requires multi-year adherence to exercise programs.
    • Exercise improves insulin sensitivity, lipid profiles, blood pressure, and reduces mortality risk in obese individuals.
    • While acute exercise boosts resting metabolic rate, long-term effects diminish rapidly upon cessation of training.

    Conclusions:

    • Regular, high-volume exercise is an effective strategy for obesity prevention and treatment.
    • Long-term compliance is essential for achieving and maintaining weight loss and metabolic benefits.
    • Exercise offers substantial health improvements for overweight and obese individuals, including reduced mortality risk.
