Many people who want to lose weight, and do it as quickly as possible, wonder whether sports can help them in this matter?
Indeed, research confirms that adding exercise to your diet can help you lose an additional 1.5 kg of weight.
However, the main factor influencing weight loss is still a change in diet: 80% of success depends on nutrition, and only 20% on physical activity.
At the same time, it cannot be said that loads are not necessary at all.
The fact is that as a result of any weight loss, a person also loses some of his muscle mass.
Training, especially strength training, can help reduce this effect and improve body composition.
But sending everyone who wants to lose weight to the gym would be a mistake: instead, nutritionists recommend choosing the type of activity that you enjoy and that you can do for a long time.
While strength training helps maintain muscle mass and changes your body composition, if you hate it and prefer swimming or rock climbing, do what you enjoy. It will also help strengthen your body.
