Introduction: Obesity is a common contributor to pain and disability of the musculoskeletal system, especially in the female population. The association between pain and obesity is mainly explained by the increased mechanical load on the joints and inflammation present in the tissues due to excess weight. Thus, increasing evidence defines physical exercise as beneficial for many chronic diseases, including obesity, being a therapeutic modality performed in terrestrial or aquatic environments, providing positive factors for chronic pain conditions, especially in obese adults. Methodology: A randomized clinical trial will be conducted, with 140 obese and sedentary women who will be divided into two groups (terrestrial and aquatic group), aged between 20 and 60 years and BMI (BMI = 30 to 40kg / m2). Data collection will be at the Franciscan University. 16 physical exercise sessions will be applied, with 70 volunteers in the terrestrial group and another 70 in the aquatic group. Pain will be assessed before the application of the exercise sessions and after the 16th session, using the adapted visual analog scale, totaling two different pain assessments (pre and post-intervention). Anthropometric measures will be measured to calculate BMI and after this measurement, body composition will be evaluated by the tetrapolar device for bioimpedance (Byodinamics, 310). Final considerations: The application of physical exercises in a sample of obese and sedentary women, both in water and on the ground may be able to reduce the musculoskeletal pain score.
