Among overweight and obese individuals initiating exercise programs for weight loss, the incidence of sports injuries is significantly influenced by the type of training protocol, with resistance training and combined (aerobic + resistance) circuits showing different injury profiles compared to aerobic-only training, and injury frequency varying by sex and training phase.
If you are overweight and starting exercise, choose a program that matches your fitness level. Resistance training and combined circuits are effective for weight loss but require attention to form to prevent injury. Monitor your progress and listen to your body, especially in the early phases of training.

Why this rating
Large sample size (n=167), structured intervention, and use of validated injury recording systems (RELECA), though it is a single-site study.

- Bariatric surgery (VSG and RYGB) is the most effective and sustainable treatment for obesity, producing marked and sustained weight loss that non-surgical interventions cannot match.Strong
- Severely protein-deficient diets (2–3% energy) induce lean body mass loss and metabolic imbalance, whereas adequate protein intake (0.66 g/kg/d minimum) is a prerequisite for maintaining muscle, bone, and physiological function.Strong
- For patients with Class III obesity (BMI >39.9 kg/m2), metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is significantly more effective than any currently approved medication, with BilioPancreatic Diversion (BPD) showing the highest estimated weight loss.Strong
