**4. Conclusion**

In conclusion, it appears that exercise-induced reductions in VAT are mediated by induced changes in GH levels. This could be due to the similar lipolytic effects of both GH and exercise on VAT and this relationship would benefit the role of different types of exercises (aerobic and anaerobic exercises) as interventions against the obesity. Preventing and understanding the development of obesity is therefore essential, if it is wanted to curb the global epidemic and save social security several million costs concerning health problems.
