Summary/Abstract: The article displays an evaluation of efficiency and effects of the complex approach (a synergy of the cognitive-behavioural psychotherapy and the intervention program of physical exercises) in a therapy of the overweight and obesity. There were two groups of probands (women). The first one where the probands participated both in the STOB course and the intervention movement program, and the other one where the participants went through the intervention movement program only. 22 probands who were overweight or obese participated in a twelve-week programme. An average rate of BMI in the STOB group was 33,77 (± 19,3). A control group (of 10 probands) participated in an intervention programme only. An average rate of BMI in this group was 29,99 (± 6,96). The research started in the autumn of 2009 and finished in the autumn of 2011. It was investigated as a part of the dissertation thesis.
