Due to obesity becoming the number one disease around the world, diet, as a result, is a part of our lives. Exercise has been shown to be impactful in the way of enhancing the effectiveness of diet and lowering fat mass. This review will represent a short comparison between aerobic, resistance, and concurrent exercise methods to display the physiological and biochemical effects of each. Comparing them can enhance public awareness and result in more conscious choices between them, whether they are athletic individuals or individuals who want to have an active lifestyle.
Literature has yet to discover the most beneficial exercise for each individual, and engaging in more discussion would allow scientists to prevent obesity in the long run. This review showed that using concurrent might be the most effective exercise in the short run. However, more practical implications are needed in the long run to gather a general conclusion, making it more straightforward for the public and academia to discuss underlying effects, impactfulness, and easier access openly.
Considering the diet, calorie intake, and required energy intake would always stay prior to choosing different exercises for lowering fat mass.
