Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the diet and exercise program for overweight and obese women.
Material and Method: A questionnaire was applied to the participants, and anthropometric measurements were made. Then, they were given a diet list and an aerobic exercise program for eight weeks. After eight weeks, the questionnaire and anthropometric measurements were repeated.In the study, the cases were divided into groups. The 1st group consisted of diet, the 2nd group without exercise, the 3rd group with diet and exercise, and the control group with no diet and no exercise.
Results:32.6% of women were overweight, and 67.4% were obese.Group 1 was 29.2%, group 2 was 13.5%, and group 3 was 38.2%. The control group was 19.1%. A statistical decrease was observed in the participants' BMI, waist circumference, and hip circumference parameters between the groups (p<0.05). Weight and BMI differences in group 3 were significantly higher than weight and BMI differences in groups 1 and 2 (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Diet and exercise influenced weight control by lowering anthropometric measures. In the fight against obesity, the combination of diet and exercise proved to be more effective than the separate implementation of these measures.
