Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to evaluate the effects of a motivational physical activity program on obesity outcomes.
  • The research was conducted as a randomized controlled trial with 123 participants, leading to significant improvements in body weight, body mass index, and lipid levels in the intervention group compared to the control group.
