Physical Activity in Obesity Prevention and Weight Management

A kinesiology-focused examination of obesity that centers physical activity across three stages: prevention, treatment of an established condition, and maintenance after weight-loss goals are reached. The book presents exercise as one component of obesity management, framing regular movement as both a preventive practice and an adjunct to treatment. Its scope is geared toward the relationship between physical activity, body weight, and long-term weight management rather than a general diet plan.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Students and professionals interested in kinesiology and exercise science
  • Adults seeking a physical-activity-centered perspective on obesity management
  • Readers studying exercise in relation to weight-loss maintenance

Book overview

This new volume suggests that regular physical activity plays an important role in preventing the development of obesity, is a valuable adjunct therapy in the treatment of the established condition, and makes a solid contribution to the maintenance of weight loss once target weights have been achieved.
