Introduction:
Obesity has become a global health issue with a continually increasing prevalence. Developing strategies for managing obesity remains a key concern to mitigate the adverse effects associated with it.

Aim of the study:
This study aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of a combined resistanceendurance training program in improving anthropometry and body composition among women with obesity.

Material and methods:
A total of 30 obese women with a mean age of 22.60 ± 1.48 years and body mass index (BMI) 29.08 ± 2.82 kg/m2 were randomly selected to participate in this study and divided into two groups: control group (CTL, n = 15) and combined training group (CTR, n = 15). The combined training was applied at a moderate intensity with a frequency of 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Anthropometric and body composition assessments were conducted before and after the intervention program. Statistical analysis was performed using parametric tests, specifically the paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test, with a significance level of 95%.

Results:
The results indicated significant reductions in weight, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), body fat (BF), and body fat percentage (BFP), along with an increase in skeletal muscle (SM) mass after the combined training intervention (p ≤ 0.05). We also observed delta (∆) and changes (%) in weight reduction, BMI, WHR, BF, BFP, and SM mass increase between groups (p ≤ 0.05).

Conclusions:
These findings demonstrate that an 8-week combined training intervention effectively improves anthropometry and body composition in women with obesity, as evidenced by reductions in body weight, BMI, WHR, BF, BFP, and increases in SM mass.
