Obesity is a disease characterized by the accumulation of excessive body fat in the body of individuals. Considered as a public health problem, obesity brings a series of pathologies that harm the health of the population. Modern life, associated with inadequate eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle are the biggest aggravating factors for this problem. This evidence proves the need to search for methodologies that reduce obesity and associated risk factors. This present work aims, through bibliographical research, to interpret the purpose of strength training and weight loss in combating and preventing people with obesity, based on its conceptions. To construct the intervention proposal, research was carried out on the main platforms used as scientific sources, namely the Google Scholar website, Medline and Lilacs. The practice of strength training can have a great influence on weight loss and becomes an ally in the recovery of the basic components of the body structure, favoring an improvement in the quality of life of practitioners and health in general. It is expected that through interdisciplinary action, it will be possible to promote the reduction of BMI and weight maintenance, starting from simple changes such as changing eating habits and practicing regular physical exercise. For the results to be effective, it is important that there is commitment from individuals.
