One reason for the high prevalence of overweight and obesity might be the differences in lifestyle compared to earlier decades, called the "obesogenic environment." With this, the decline in physical activity (PA) in favor of a sedentary lifestyle is assumed to play an important role. Physical activity or inactivity has a major impact on the development of overweight and obesity as well as on certain metabolic disorders. This review summarizes current scientific knowledge regarding the association between PA and overweight/obesity. The term "physical activity" is defined and different methods of its assessment are introduced. In addition, certain methods for the evaluation/operationalization of collected PA data are described. Finally, some epidemiological studies dealing with the associations between PA and overweight/obesity in children/adolescents as well as in adults are presented.
超重和肥胖高患病率的一个原因可能是与 earlier decades 相比生活方式的差异，即所谓的“致肥胖环境”。据此，人们认为体力活动（PA）的减少转而倾向久坐不动的生活方式起到了重要作用。体力活动或缺乏体力活动对超重和肥胖的发展以及某些代谢紊乱有重大影响。本综述总结了关于 PA 与超重/肥胖之间关联的当前科学知识。定义了“体力活动”一词并介绍了其评估的不同方法。此外，还描述了一些用于评估/操作所收集 PA 数据的方法。最后，展示了一些关于儿童/青少年以及成年人中 PA 与超重/肥胖之间关联的流行病学研究。
