Abstract

Obesity is a global public health problem, and sport is one of the most effective ways to combat it. In this study, the influence of sport on people with obesity was investigated. A quasi-experimental study was carried out in which the evolution of body mass index (BMI), muscle strength, aerobic capacity and quality of life were evaluated in a group of 50 obese people who carried out a physical exercise program for 12 weeks. The results showed that the physical exercise program had a significant effect on the decrease of the BMI and on the increase of the muscular strength and the aerobic capacity of the participants. In addition, an improvement in the quality of life of the participants was observed. The discussion of the results suggests that sport is an effective tool to combat obesity and improve the quality of life of people with obesity. In addition, the importance of adherence to the physical exercise program and the need to promote sport as an accessible and attractive activity for people with obesity were highlighted. In conclusion, the present study provides evidence on the influence of sport in people with obesity, which can help in the design of effective intervention programs to combat this global public health problem.
