What is Effect Of Exercise On Weight Control?

Weight control is important as it has an impact on our health. Exercise plays a significant role in weight control. It is helpful for weight loss and increases metabolism. An exercise regime kicks-start weight loss by helping to maintain and increase lean body mass, which increases the number of calories you burn each day. Rather than depending on calorie restriction or exercise alone, a balanced diet accompanied with regular exercise is more effective in weight loss. Having said that, the effects of exercise on weight loss differ among individuals due to factors like age, gender, environment, lifestyle, and diseases.

How It Affects Your Body

Exercise increases the body's metabolism, which determines how quickly and how many calories you burn a day. Having a high metabolism means more calories are burned within a short period of time.

The various intensities of exercise also have different effects on your body. High intensity exercise such as weight training does not only burn fats, but also build muscles. Moderate aerobic exercise increases heart rate and pumps more blood. At the same time, it helps to burn excess fat. Therefore, the type of exercise is essential in controlling and managing your ideal weight.

Exercise can also prevent or even reverse the effects of certain diseases. Exercise lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, which may help to prevent a heart attack. There are other beneficial effects of exercise, including but not limited to: improved sexual function, changes in gene expression, clear skin, improved mood, improved sleep quality, and reduced body weight.
