The purpose of this research; To examine the effects of lifelong fitness training on anthropometric measurements and obesity awareness in obese people. 31 individuals (23 women and 8 men) who attended the 'Lifelong Form Camp' in Kocaeli province participated in this research. A multidisciplinary program covering nutrition, exercise and social activities was applied to individuals for varying periods of time (8 weeks-34 weeks) in an environment isolated from environmental conditions. As a data collection tool; Tanita MC 580 device was used for Obesity Awareness Scale and anthropometric measurements. Anthropometric measurements of the individuals were taken before starting the exercise program, and the final test was taken after the program lasted 8-34 weeks. When the percentage change between the individuals' pre-tests and post-tests is examined; body weight (22.33%), body mass index (37.36%), body fat percentage (25.99%), body fat weight (43.11%), body water percentage (-21.85%) and A change in fat-free mass percentage (21.85%) was found. Significant differences were found in all anthropometric characteristics. There was no significant difference in the obesity awareness total score and its subscales. It was determined that female participants had higher scores in the obesity awareness sub-dimension, physical activity sub-dimension and obesity awareness total score, and male participants had higher scores in the nutrition sub-dimension. In our study, in parallel with the literature, obesity rates, body weight, body mass index and body fat ratio of individuals who exercised regularly and had a healthy diet decreased. It can be said that a multidisciplinary program that includes regular exercise and healthy eating habits reduces the risk of obesity.
