“…Increasing physical activity, rediscovering the joy of movement, and setting achievable of a sustainable exercise goal form the three foundational pillars for immediate and long-term health benefits. 71 , 72 Even the simple transition from ‘no physical activity’ to ‘any level of physical activity’ can be useful to achieve, if possible, a target of 150 min/week of moderate aerobic activity within a reasonable period. 18 , 27 , 28 Additional benefits can be achieved by increasing the duration of moderate physical activity or maintaining the same duration but increasing the intensity.…”

“…Similar to dietary therapy, the personalization of movement is a fundamental point. 71 , 72 The patient’s age and the presence of cardiovascular or musculoskeletal comorbidities must be taken into account to determine the type of activity that is possible and therefore prescribable. Although physical activity is an essential component for individual well-being and is also associated with an increase in life expectancy, its quantitative contribution to weight reduction is relatively modest.…”

“…Although physical activity is an essential component for individual well-being and is also associated with an increase in life expectancy, its quantitative contribution to weight reduction is relatively modest. 72 This is because achieving significant calorie expenditure demands considerable physical effort and, secondly, due to compensatory mechanisms activated, such as an increase in the sensation of hunger, which partly nullify the increase in caloric burn. Nevertheless, the role of physical activity in reducing visceral fat and maintaining weight after a period of weight loss is pivotal.…”

Obesity is a chronic and relapsing disease characterized by the interaction between individual predispositions and an obesogenic environment. Recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of energetic homoeostasis paved the way to more effective therapeutic approaches compared with traditional treatments. Since obesity is a complex disease, it necessitates a multi-disciplinary approach whose implementation remains challenging. Nonetheless, emerging pharmacological interventions appear promising. Currently, therapeutic success is discreet in the short term but often fails to maintain long-term weight loss due to a high likelihood of weight regain. Cardiologists play a key role in managing patients with obesity, yet often lack familiarity with its comprehensive management. The aim of this document is to summarize knowledge to consolidate essential knowledge for clinicians to effectively treat patients living with obesity. The paper emphasizes the pivotal role of a strong patient–clinician relationship in navigating successful treatment. We analyse the criteria commonly used to diagnose obesity and point out the strengths and limitations of different criteria. Furthermore, we discuss the role of obesiologists and the contributions of cardiologists. In addition, we detail key components of effective therapeutic strategies, including educational aspects and pharmacological options.

“…"Physical exercise" is a consistent, high-intensity movement program to boost strength, cardiovascular health, and overall physical performance [14]. Both aerobic and anaerobic training are forms of physical activity, but in terms of energy supply, none can be classified entirely as "aerobic" or "anaerobic" [15]. In aerobic training, you typically ride a stationary bike or run continuously at a certain intensity level for a set amount of time.…”

Women are more likely to be obese and at risk of hypertension and coronary heart disease than men. Genetic factors influence it. Physical exercise can reduce obesity, especially on endothelial factors such as ET-1 and NO. This research explores the effect of swimming physical training on the expression of endothelin-1 and receptor-A in obese mouse models. This type of research is a true experiment carried out on 12 adult female Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) as research samples. The research procedures were carried out by caring for test animals, raising rats until they were obese, not giving treatment (control), physical training in the form of swimming exercises, and finally, examination of ET-1, ET-A, blood sugar levels, and total cholesterol levels. The data obtained was analyzed using SPSS. The research results of the normality test for the treatment group were more significant than 0.05 in the ET-1 examination of 0.315 and ET-A of 0.261. ET-1 levels were 92.5 pg/ml and ET-A levels were 62.5 pg/ml. Their blood sugar level was 167 mg/dL. The research concluded that in mouse tests, physical training was better for increasing ET-1 levels and reducing ET-A levels. Swimming and aerobics are better at lowering blood sugar levels.

In this thematic issue on phenotyping the obesities, prominent international experts offer an insightful and comprehensive collection of articles covering the current knowledge in the field. In order to actually capture all the polyhedral determinants of the diverse types of obesity, the granularity of the phenotypic information acquired must be expanded in the context of a personalized approach. Whilst the use of precision medicine has been successfully implemented in areas like cancer and other diseases, health care providers are more reluctant to embrace detailed phenotyping to guide diagnosis, treatment and prevention in obesity. Given its multiple complex layers, phenotyping necessarily needs to go beyond the multi-omics approach and incorporate all the diverse spheres that conform the reality of people living with obesity. Potential barriers, difficulties, roadblocks and opportunities together with their interaction in a syndemic context are analyzed. Plausible lacunae are also highlighted in addition to pointing to the need of redefining new conceptual frameworks. Therefore, this extraordinary collection of state-ofthe-art reviews provides useful information to both experienced clinicians and trainees as well as academics to steer clinical practice and research in the management of people living with obesity irrespective of practice setting or career stage.
