This project aims to study the effect of exercise in the obesity/overweight on the changes of physical fitness and blood components. This will provide novel knowledge for medical staffs, researchers, or companies developing alternative strategies for treating obesity/overweight, including drug development and health promotion project to delay or prevent the onset of the disease.
