- Brief Summary
Generally, the enhancement of physical fitness depends on the optimal modulation of different physiological, technical or psychological stimuli and within the factors the would contribute to a decrease performance level, obesity is one of them. In this context, ample evidence shows that obesity is associated with an augmented cardio-metabolic risk, lowered postural control, functional performance and strength-related variables. International guidelines suggests to counteract obesity to respect a minimum dosage of 150 min a week of physical activity at moderate intensity performed with resistance training exercises with a frequency of 2-3 days/week. However, in the aforementioned guidelines there is a little consideration for what concern the quality of motor execution (i.e., "how" an individual performs each movement pattern). In addition, the available literature demonstrates the effectiveness of a "movement-quality" training intervention on fitness parameters and postural control, compared to a mere conventional exercise, in normal-weight individuals . In account to this, the purpose is to evaluate whether a quality of movement protocol would be more effective than a traditional strength training exercise in improving postural control and fitness parameters in subjects with obesity.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from baseline functional performance at six weeks Up to six weeks Functional performance using the Functional Movement Screen protocol in arbitrary units with a 0-12 point scale in which higher scores mean a better outcome
Change from baseline breathing pattern at six weeks Up to six weeks Breathing pattern performance using the Total Faulty Breathing Scale protocol in arbitrary units with a 0-12 point scale in which lower scores mean a better outcome
Change from baseline lower-body muscular strength at six weeks Up to six weeks Amount of time in seconds during a chair raise using the Five Repetition Sit-To-Stand protocol
Change from baseline body balance at six weeks Up to six weeks Body stability using the modified version of the Balance Error Scoring System protocol in arbitrary units with a 0-30 point scale in which lower scores mean a better outcome
