Abstract

Obesity, with its increasing prevalence in adolescents, needs to be addressed with greater attention. As an effective measure to alleviate metabolic symptoms, physical activity and exercise have been widely studied in various studies, including different kinds of exercises. To study the benefits of exercise in various ways on obese adolescents, this literature review summarizes and discusses a few journals that test the effects of various exercises with the elimination of diet interventions. With the use of search engines like EBSCO, PubMed, Lancent, etc., several related research articles were selected with the key words adolescent obesity, physical activity, and exercise. In conclusion, though there is still uncertainty about the minimum effective amount and specific types of exercise that are most beneficial, as well as the underlying mechanisms, research shows exercise is beneficial for overweight youth, though limitations in sample diversity may limit the validity of some studies. Future research should continue to explore effective exercise training for obese adolescents.
