Chapter 2: Basic Concepts
Definition of Obesity and Its Main Indicators
BMI: Indicates the healthy weight range based on height. BMI between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight, and BMI equal to or greater than 30 is classified as obese.
Waist Circumference: Measurement of waist circumference that is related to the distribution of visceral fat. Women with a waist greater than 88 cm and men with a waist greater than 102 cm have a higher risk of obesity-related complications.
Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR): Ratio between waist circumference and hip circumference. High values indicate a central distribution of fat, associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
Body Fat Percentage: Direct or estimated measurement of the amount of fat in relation to total body weight.
Overview of Sports Activities and Their Health Benefits
Sports activities encompass a wide range of planned physical movements performed with the aim of improving physical fitness, health and general well-being. They include aerobic, strength, flexibility, and balance exercises. The health benefits of sports activities are vast and impact both body and mind:
Cardiovascular Health: Aerobic activities such as running, swimming and cycling improve the health of the heart and blood vessels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
