In the seventh episode of the Dutch-language podcast series "Obesity: The Big Truth," Professor Dominique Hansen from the Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences at Hasselt University shares his insights on the importance of fitness for people with obesity.
Exercising turns out to be crucial, not only for weight loss but also for fitness and reducing serious illnesses later in life. You will learn, among other things, why fitness appears to be even more important than BMI in predicting longevity.
