- Abstract
Introduction: The basic goal of physiotherapy treatment is to improve the physical fitness and movement performance of an individual for better quality of life. Physical activity is related to the physical composition of an individual which can serve as a motivation for consistency of exercise. The purpose of the literature review is to present the impact of physical activity on body composition. Methods: We reviewed the literature in the PubMed (Medline), PEDro and CINAHL databases for the period from 1 January 2015 to 31 July 2020. Inclusion criteria included meta-analysis and complete texts in English that examined the impact of physical activity on the characteristics that define body composition. Results: 8 studies met the inclusion criteria. The results show improvement in body composition regardless of age, gender and individual's health status. The effect of physical activity on body composition varies according to the characteristics of the exercise program. Conclusions: Physical activity is associated with body composition variables as well as certain cardiovascular and metabolic characteristics.
