Along with dietary measures, physical activity belongs to the basic non-pharmacological procedures in the treatment of obesity. The presentation provides an overview of the rules for the prescription of physical activities, main principles of prescription relate to the heart rate, type, intensity and type of physical activities with regard to other associated diseases in children with obesity. There is a strong evidence for intensity of physical activity where is effective in reducing weight. It is known that rather lower activity at an intensity between 50-60% VO2max maximum oxygen consumption) leads to a preferential utilization of fatty acids as a source. To evaluate the effect on the organism in terms of the load on the cardiovascular system, cardiac monitoring is most often used, or heart rate by using a smart watches, smart phones or sprt testers. The use of spiroergometric examination with determination of VO2max and of training heart rate appears to be optimal for practice and is the most valuable indicator in the assessment cardiorespiratory fitness. Using the results of the stress test, we can determine the optimal weekly the frequency of training, the duration of the training unit, or to recommend one the intensity of the training load, which will be sufficient for the given child effective and will lead to the desired weight reduction
