Mixed

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.
