Defined by an excessive accumulation of fat cells, obesity adversely affects quality of life (QoL), morbidity, and mortality. While high\u2010intensity interval training has been widely studied, there is a lack of research on integrated intensive exercise approaches. This study evaluates the clinical efficacy of an Integrated Intensive Exercise Protocol (IIEP) in improving body composition, functional capacity, and QoL in individuals with obesity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A pilot study was conducted with 30 obese individuals (BMI 30\u201339.9\u00a0kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, aged 18\u201335), randomly assigned to two groups. Group A (control) followed a prescribed diet and engaged in brisk walking (30\u00a0min, twice daily, 3\u00a0days per week) for 8\u00a0weeks. Group B (intervention) underwent IIEP, incorporating aerobic exercise, resistance training, and recreational activities, for 3\u00a0days per week over 8\u00a0weeks. Participants were assessed pre\u2010 and post\u2010intervention for vital signs (heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure), body composition (BMI), functional capacity (6\u2010min walk test), and QoL (IWQOL\u2010Lite questionnaire).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The intervention group demonstrated significant improvements in body composition, functional capacity, and QoL compared with the control group.
