The role and influence of physical exercise on body composition in overweight and obese female students in higher economic education - Viorela-Elena Popescu

Descriere

In contemporary society, obesity has emerged as one of the most pervasive health concerns, transcending age demographics and imposing significant medical and socio-economic burdens. It has become increasingly evident that obesity is not confined to high-risk populations but also affects children, adolescents, and young adults, many of whom adopt lifestyles characterized by nutritionally deficient diets, a lack of structured physical education, and overall sedentarism. The rapid advancement of technology and modem transportation has further exacerbated this phenomenon, as individuals increasingly substitute recreational physical activity with sedentary behaviors such as excessive screen time, reliance on digital devices, and prolonged engagement with electronic entertainment. This paradigm shift has contributed to a progressive decline in daily movement, thereby reinforcing the obesogenic environment prevalent in contemporary society.
