Abstract. Kinesitherapy has a wide application in both the prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity. The purpose of this study is to determine the applied kinesitherapy methodology with varying weekly frequency’s effect on the static strength of the abdominal musculature in overweight and obese young people. The static strength endurance of the abdominal musculature (in sec) was measured. The analysis of the study’s results shows that the static strength endurance significantly increased in the experimental group (EG 2), where the experimental kinesitherapy methodology was applied three times a week to EG 1, where was applied once a week and the difference is statistically significant (temp=2,15, P(t)=96,23%).
