Abstract

It is very difficult for an obese person to lose weight or maintain a standard body weight, even when exercise therapy is carried out. However, in studies in recent years, it has been reported that the risk of metabolic diseases may be reduced, even regarding physical activities that do not meet the guidelines (for physical activity). Physical activities that allow for sustainable everyday life, rather than goals that are difficult to accomplish, are therefore required in future exercise therapies.
