Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the effects of non-periodized versus linear periodized combined training on body image and dissatisfaction in adults with obesity.
  • Participants, all with a BMI between 30 and 40, were divided into three groups: one with non-periodized training, one with linear periodization, and a control group, all undergoing a 16-week intervention.
  • The results showed that while the control group improved their perception of their current body silhouette, dissatisfaction increased over time, with both training methods managing to maintain current body perception and reduce ideal silhouette perceptions in the participants.
