The Influence of Physical Activity on Obesity and Health
Highlights
The eleven articles featured in this issue are grouped into 3 categories based on their topic: (a) complications of obesity, (b) biological effects of physical activity/exercise training on body composition and health related factors, and (c) behavioural aspects related to physical activity and exercise
The data from this study shows that physical activity is mostly associated with weight change in men while it was mostly associated with changes in cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in women
For older adults with knee osteoathritis (OA), knee pain is associated with difficulty in walking, while obesity is associated with difficulty in walking and low levels of physical activity and is a primary risk factor for knee OA
