What is Obesity?

How does exercise help?

Decrease Blood Pressure

Exercise-training interventions reduced systolic blood pressure by ~2.95 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure by ~1.93 mmHg in adults with overweight/obesity compared to controls.

Decrease Insulin Resistance

Exercise significantly decreased insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) — standardized mean difference ~ –0.34 (37 study arms) and larger effect in subgroup with type 2 diabetes (–0.50).

Decrease Liver Fat

Exercise reduced intrahepatic fat (visceral liver fat) by SMD ~ –0.59 in the included studies.

Promote Weight Loss

A separate 2023 review found that a combination of hypocaloric diet + exercise (≥ ~175 minutes/week of intensive/structured activity plus portion-controlled diet) led to ~5% body-weight loss in obese adults.
Another more recent systematic review/meta-analysis (2025) found that adding exercise to a low-calorie diet further improved glucose, insulin, TGs, HDL, BP compared to diet alone.

Suggested wording for a section under “Obesity & Lifestyle Intervention”:
“According to a 2021 systematic review of exercise-training interventions in adults with overweight or obesity, structured physical activity produced significant improvements in blood pressure, insulin resistance and intra-hepatic fat accumulation — key markers of cardiometabolic risk. (Chaston et al., 2021)¹
At EmberPoint Exercise Physiology, our obesity-management programme emphasizes not only weight loss but metabolic health — improving fitness, reducing visceral fat, and enhancing insulin sensitivity via evidence-based exercise protocols.¹”

Then you could highlight a bullet list such as:
Improvement in blood pressure control
Reduction in insulin resistance (enhanced glucose handling)
Decrease in harmful fat deposition (visceral/intra-hepatic)
Exercise contributes meaningful benefits even before major weight loss occurs
For best results in obesity management: combine structured exercise + diet + rest/wellness
