A comparative evaluation was done of two different 6-week physical rehabilitation schemes for obese women (n = 18) aged 39-45 years. On the basis of the above evaluation it has been shown that the program with elements of training involving strength was associated with a significantly greater reduction in specific weight of the adipose tissue than with conventional content of training sessions. The main cause of a higher effect of such a scheme can be attributed to increase in resting metabolism.
