Self-esteem of obese women practicing physical activity and sport: a case study

Abstract

It is undeniable that both physical and mental healths are two sides of the same coin, with each influencing the other. Psychological disorders, varying in their severity, can lead to physical illnesses, and vice versa, physical ailments can contribute to the development of mental health disorders. In this regard, we wanted to shed light on the modern-day disease known as obesity, which is accompanied by health problems that can be chronic and have a distorted impact on the individual's body, affecting their psychological well-being and personality. This can expose them to bullying and harassment.
