Summary

Generally, the enhancement of physical fitness depends on the optimal modulation of different physiological, technical or psychological stimuli and within the factors the would contribute to a decrease performance level, obesity is one of them. In this context, ample evidence shows that obesity is associated with an augmented cardio-metabolic risk, lowered postural control, functional performance and strength-related variables. International guidelines suggests to counteract obesity to respect a minimum dosage of 150 min a week of physical activity at moderate intensity performed with resistance training exercises with a frequency of 2-3 days/week. However, in the aforementioned guidelines there is a little consideration for what concern the quality of motor execution (i.e., "how" an individual performs each movement pattern). In addition, the available literature demonstrates the effectiveness of a "movement-quality" training intervention on fitness parameters and postural control, compared to a mere conventional exercise, in normal-weight individuals . In account to this, the purpose is to evaluate whether a quality of movement protocol would be more effective than a traditional strength training exercise in improving postural control and fitness parameters in subjects with obesity.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Movement quality

6-week-home-based training protocols designed to improve general fitness levels and postural control performed in a circuit-training mode (time of work per set 30 s, time of rest between each exercise 15 s, time of rest between sets 2 min, total volume 3 sets) for a duration of 45 min with a frequency of 3 days per week while performing mobility, stability and motor control exercises.

OTHER

Conventional Resistance Training

6-week-home-based training protocols designed to improve general fitness levels and postural control performed in a circuit-training mode (time of work per set 30 s, time of rest between each exercise 15 s, time of rest between sets 2 min, total volume 3 sets) for a duration of 45 min with a frequency of 3 days per week while performing traditional strength training exercises
