Abstracts: Objectives: This study examined how different sequences of concurrent training impacted physical activity (PA), body composition, and physical fitness in young obese males. We also investigated whether the effectiveness of these interventions in reducing body fat percentage (BF%) was influenced by PA levels. Methods: A 12-week randomized controlled trial involving a cohort of 45 obese young males (mean age: 22.42 ± 1.96 years, mean BMI: 29.78 ± 3.37) was conducted. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: the CRE group (Resistance Training (RT) followed by Endurance Training (ET)), the CER group (ET followed by RT), and the control group (Con). The training sessions were held three times a week. Measurements, including PA level, body composition, bone density, VO2max, and muscle strength, were assessed before and after the intervention. Results: Compared to those at baseline, following the intervention, both the CRE and CER groups showed significant improvements in various parameters, including PA level, body composition, bone density, VO2max, and muscle strength (p 0.05). Specifically, the CRE group demonstrated remarkable progress, as evidenced by an increase in MVPA level (η2p = 0.37, p
