The significant increase of the prevalence of overweight and obese adults raises the importance of approaching this major issue of public health. Our modern life style characterized by the intake of highly caloric food and low levels of physical activity, accompanied by long periods of sitting and a poor sleep interacts with our basic biology creating an environment where the circadian rhythms are disrupted which more often result in a higher number of metabolic disorders. The excess of body weight is associated with many negative effects upon health including but not limited to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, some form of cancers and muscle and bone disorders. Since the physical activity is more and more performed in organized environment, the importance of physical activity in the society increased in time, not only for the individual but for the public health. Our daily life becomes less and less physically active, while organized physical training increases. The average caloric intake is increasing, which means more unconsumed energy and as a result more overweight persons with health problems. Physical training seems to be an important factor in approaching this epidemic of obesity. This paperwork aims to revise the literature to determine if the physical activity can be associated with the prevention of weight gaining in obese adults.
Keywords: physical activity, obesity, overweight.
