Abstract

We often talk about obesity and exercise together because physical activity promotes the body's ability to burn calories efficiently. Targeted weight loss continues to be the main focus of obesity treatment. A review of the literature indicates that there are both small and large physiological benefits for obese people. Focusing on these benefits, rather than just a narrow focus on weight loss, may improve physical activity behavior and health in people with obesity. Exercise is an important lifestyle measure for maintaining a healthy weight. The aim of the current study is to assess to what extent physical activity combined with lifestyle changes can reduce body weight. A total of 67 patients (100%) with diagnosed obesity were followed. The differences between the mean values ​​of weight, waist and BMI after 6 months were not statistically significant (p≥0.05), but a beneficial effect was reported.
