Key Points • Resistance training is a key element in the treatment of obesity. • High-intensity resistance training should be used with caution; low-intensity resistance training should be preferred because of reduced mechanical stress on the joints. • In particular, low-intensity, low-velocity resistance training is well tolerated and appears to provide evidence-based benefits in the obese population. • The combination of low-intensity, low-velocity strength training with aerobic training and a supervised dietary plan lead to weight loss, improved function, postural control and independence in daily life activities. • Low-velocity resistance training modalities need to be investigated for the obese population.

Abstract

Key Points • Resistance training is a key element in the treatment of obesity. • High-intensity resistance training should be used with caution; low-intensity resistance training should be preferred because of reduced mechanical stress on the joints. • In particular, low-intensity, low-velocity resistance training is well tolerated and appears to provide evidence-based benefits in the obese population. • The combination of low-intensity, low-velocity strength training with aerobic training and a supervised dietary plan lead to weight loss, improved function, postural control and independence in daily life activities. • Low-velocity resistance training modalities need to be investigated for the obese population.
