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.
It is necessary to understand the relationship between different models of exercise periodization and the reduction of cardiovascular risk in adults with obesity. The aim of this study was to verify the effect of two periodization models of combined training on the cardiovascular risk of adults with obesity of both sexes. A randomized clinical trial was conducted with adults of both sexes with obesity.

We used data from the Brazilian National Survey of School Health (PeNSE), 2015. According to the self-reported consumption of beans, vegetables and fruits, a score of in natura/minimally processed foods was generated (0-21 points).

It involved a cross-sectional population-based study conducted by telephone interview. The self-reported variables were obesity, defined by weight and height (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) and risk behaviors: physical inactivity (≤ 149 minutes/week), excess sedentarism (≥ 4 hours/day), frequent consumption of sweets (≥ 5 days/week) and meat with fat and/or chicken with skin (≥ 1 day/week).

- - The study analyzed how different stages of puberty correlate with body fat in children and teenagers aged 8 to 14 years, using a sample of 2,339 schoolchildren in Brazil.
- - Findings revealed that kids in the early stages of puberty had a significantly higher risk of central adiposity, with males and females showing important differences in prevalence ratios compared to their peers in normal stages of development.
- - The research concluded that early pubertal development is strongly linked to increased body fatness, with females showing a decrease in excess adiposity as they moved away from early maturation.
