THE ROLE OF KINESIOTHERAPY IN COMBATING OBESITY AND SEDENTARY LIFESTYLES IN AMERICAN SOCIETY
Abstrakt
This research confirms the pivotal role of kinesiotherapy in combating obesity and sedentary lifestyles and provides a foundational framework for future interventions and studies in this field. It underscores the importance of an integrated approach that combines physical therapy with lifestyle changes, paving the way for healthier and more active communities. The aim of this research is to gather and group the main methods of kinesiotherapy that are used to combat obesity and the problems associated with a sedentary lifestyle. This research underlines the efficacy of kinesiotherapy in combating obesity and sedentary lifestyles, highlighting various forms like Morning Hygiene Gymnastics (MHG) and Therapeutic Gymnastics (TG). MHG, ideal for starting the day with increased energy, focuses on general wellness, while TG is tailored to reduce body fat and improve cardiovascular health. Individualized exercises are emphasized for their role in addressing specific obesity and sedentarism needs. Additionally, therapeutic walking and aquatic exercises stand out for their low-impact, high-calorie-burn benefits, essential in obesity management. The study also stresses the importance of systematic, regular, and progressive exercise routines that are accessible and tailored to individual needs. By adhering to these principles, kinesiotherapy serves as a versatile and effective tool in promoting physical activity and countering the challenges of obesity and a sedentary lifestyle.
