ABSTRACT

An educational intervention including physical exercise was realized in order to reduce obesity among houseweaves aged between 30 and 45 years who live in the Historic Centre of Holguin City through. Among 85 obese women a probabilistic sample of 49 of them were selected, taking into account the inclusion criteria of the research.The anthropometric measurements included: weight, height and skin creases. Regarding weihgt, the results showed that there was a reduction of 4.9 kg and 4.7 kg of fat, as well as, an increase of 0.8 kg of active body mass when comparing the measurements before and after the application of the alternative. The authors concluded that the education and physical activity had a significant influence on the reduction of obesity in housewaves.
