Abstract: Obesity is a multifactorial disease with an increasing prevalence worldwide and is characterized by an increase in body weight.It poses a risk for diseases such as hypertension and diabetes, especially by causing an increase in fat in the abdominal area.Obesity can be managed through behavioral changes in energy intake or expenditure.Various nutrition and exercise strategies are used for this purpose.Exercise causes an increase in energy expenditure and contributes to a decrease in body weight, loss of fat mass and the maintenance of these effects.Exercise has the potential to mitigate the adverse health consequences of obesity even without weight loss in the body.Studies suggest that resistance exercise training can promote a negative energy balance, play a role in weight management by changing body fat mass.Increase in muscle mass with resistance exercise training provides a better metabolic control in the body.From the perspective of weight loss and control, recent exercise guidelines include resistance exercise training as part of an exercise prescription.Resistance exercise training can play an important role in body fat management, with an increase in energy expended during physical activity and an acute increase in basal metabolic rate.Resistance exercise training can increase lean body mass and cause changes in body composition by reducing visceral and total body fat.However, the effects of resistance exercise training on body fat composition still do not give definitive results.In this respect, this review aims to examine the effects of resistance exercise training on body fat mass and muscle.
