Efeitos do treinamento resistido para a obesidade em adolescentes

Abstract

Obesity is a global public health concern, especially among adolescents, with its physical implications this study sought to analyze the effects of resistance training (RT) in combating obesity in adolescents. Method: A bibliographic review of articles in Portuguese published from 2018 to 2023 was carried out in databases such as SciEelo and Google Scholar, using relevant keywords. Three studies were identified that met the inclusion criteria. Results: The results indicate that RT offers additional benefits for obese adolescents, including reducing fat percentage, decreasing blood glucose, improving physical fitness, increasing muscle strength and reducing blood pressure. Furthermore, RT can contribute to the prevention of chronic non-communicable diseases, such as obesity, and improve quality of life. Conclusions: Conclusions: resistance training proved to be important for combating obesity in adolescents, in addition to improving several factors such as fat percentage, reduced blood glucose, reduced sedentary lifestyle, reduced blood pressure, increased muscle strength. Therefore, resistance training practiced at least twice a week can lead to better physical development, improvement of the cardiovascular system, body composition and reduction of sedentary lifestyle and its effects on obesity in adolescents are of great relevance.
