»Aims of aerobic physical exercise in obesity

Reduction of FFM loss from low-calorie diet.

Prevention of the reduction of energy expenditure from a low-calorie diet.

Maintenance of the weight loss achieved over time.

Increase in post-exercise thermogenesis (up to 16 hours).

Muscle toning.

Increase in muscle fibers II-a (aerobic-anaerobic) from II-b.

Loss of fat mass (1 Kg FM = 9000 Kcal).

Increase in the use of FFA for energy purposes (up to 80%) also in the post-exercise phase.

If you walk at an average speed of 5 km / h, flat for one hour, the energy consumption is about three times higher than that obtained by watching television for the same time.
