Extract: Physical training is useful as a therapeutic means to obtain a decrease in body fat. The success in terms of lost fat is dependent on the ability to adhere to the program, and on regulatory factors associated with the degree of filling of adipose tissue (adipocyte volume). The rate of weight loss is usually slower than with dietary treatment but physical exercise may be more successful and less uncomfortable in the long run as a means to lose weight and prevent regaining it. Physical training is also effective against the metabolic complications associated with obesity.
