Abstract
Obesity, physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour are major public health concerns. A complex interaction of many factors leads to obesity, which requires an individualised multicomponent management strategy. As new interventions become available to help individuals manage obesity, it is essential that physical activity remains a core part of the approach. Here, we summarise current evidence regarding the benefits of physical activity as part of a management strategy of obesity. Additionally, we discuss current methods for increasing physical activity levels in individuals with obesity and outline the role of sport and exercise medicine physicians as part of the multidisciplinary team.
