Abstract in brief

  • This review discusses how exercise and physical activity help prevent weight gain, support initial weight loss, and maintain weight, highlighting that significant weight loss typically requires high-volume aerobic exercise.
  • It emphasizes that while aerobic exercise can lead to modest weight loss (around 2 kg), the amount of weight lost varies greatly between individuals, and other health benefits can occur regardless of weight change.
  • Clinicians should set realistic expectations for patients about weight loss through exercise and stress that many health improvements come from physical activity even if weight loss is minimal.]

@Utvecklingslra1 @experten88 @PappaSpar @EmilTalani https://t.co/rSHOh1SAYg motion har massor med andra fina egenskaper. Men att få folk att gå ner i vikt är den inte bra på. Krävs otroligt mycket träning för att gå ner i vikt av enbart träning. Det är kosten som är problemet. Men en kombination är ju givetvis det bästa.
