Obesity and overweight affect around 2 billion people worldwide. Despite the growing prevalence, the treatment of obesity is still an obscure field and the impacts of this disease on the clinical and public health perspective are urgent. Studies have demonstrated a fundamental role of the gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of obesity and discuss the impacts of diet and physical exercise on the microbiome profile. However, the mechanisms involved in these processes, referring to strategies such as intermittent fasting associated with physical training, are still poorly explored and understood. It is believed that intermittent fasting combined with physical exercise can promote a remodeling of the composition and function of the microbiota and that the present investigation is promising in the prevention and treatment of obesity.
Background: Obesity and overweight affect about 2 billion people worldwide. Despite the growing prevalence, the treatment of obesity is still an obscure field and the impacts of this disease on the clinical and public health perspective are urgent. Studies have demonstrated a fundamental role of the gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of obesity and discuss the impacts of diet and physical exercise on the microbiome profile. However, the mechanisms involved in these processes, referring to strategies such as intermittent fasting associated with physical training, are still poorly explored and understood. It is believed that intermittent fasting combined with physical exercise can promote a remodeling of the composition and function of the microbiota and that the present investigation is promising in the prevention and treatment of obesity. Methods: 60 obese women will participate in the study and will be randomly divided into 3 groups: 1) the intermittent fasting group, submitted to a diet for 8 weeks (n= 20); 2) the physical exercise group, submitted to physical training for 8 weeks (n= 20); and 3) intermittent fasting group associated with physical exercise, submitted to both interventions for 8 weeks (n= 20). All volunteers will perform collections and evaluations (pre and post intervention) of anthropometry, food consumption, indirect calorimetry to assess resting energy expenditure, body composition by BodPod®, blood collection for biochemical analysis and gene expression, collection of feces for the analysis of the intestinal microbiota and physical tests (Shuttle Walking Test, multiple repetition test and functional strength) for the exercise groups. Expected results: The synergistic effects of the proposed intervention are expected to improve gut microbiota and metabolic parameters in obese women.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intermittent fasting (IF) | Experimental | Alternate-day intermittent fasting. Consumption of 25% of daily energy requirements on scheduled fasting days involving energy restriction for 2 non-consecutive days of the week and ad libitum feeding on the other 5 days of the week. Period: 8 weeks. |
|
| Exercise: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) | Experimental | High intensity circuit training. Progressive training protocol 3x/week, for 8 weeks, with at least 1 day of rest between sessions and duration of 25 minutes each session - 4 minutes of initial warm-up, 18 minutes of the main part and 3 minutes of relaxation. First and second week: 30 second run and recovery time. Third and fourth week: 35-second runtime and 25-second recovery time. Fifth and Sixth Week: 40-second runtime and 20-second recovery time. Seventh and eighth weeks: 45-second runtime and 15-second recovery time. |

Participants will be randomly distributed into 3 groups: the intermittent fasting group (GIF) composed of individuals who will only perform the nutritional intervention for 8 weeks; the physical exercise group (GEX), composed of individuals who will perform only physical training for 8 weeks and the intermittent fasting group associated with physical exercise (GIF+EX), composed of individuals who will perform the nutritional intervention combined with physical training in the period of 8 weeks.
