Effects of aerobic exercise training on body composition and metabolic syndrome factors in obese male collage student
Journal Title: Biology of Exercise - Year 2014, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (Ms) is emerging as a serious public health problem in Iran. the purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 8 weeks of aerobic exercise training on body composition and Ms factors in obese Iran male college students. subjects were randomly assigned to exercise (n = 19) and control (n = 19) groups. the exercise group trained for 50 min/day, for 3 day/week for 8 weeks. each exercise session comprised 3 phases: warm-up for 10 min, aerobic exercise for 30 min (the exercise intensity for aerobic exercise was 60–80% of the heart rate reserve (HRR) for 30 min) and cool down for 10 min. the paired and unpaired t-test in <0.05 significantly level were used in the statistical analysis. compared to pre-training, after 8 weeks progressive aerobic exercise on the Ms-related factors of blood lipid composition such as triglycerides (tgs), total cholesterol (tc), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) significantly decreased (P<0.05) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) significantly increased (P<0.05); also the result shows that percent body fat, waist circumference (Wc), systolic blood pressure (sBP), and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) significantly decreased; while it remained unchanged in control subjects (P>0.05). a 8-week aerobic exercise program could effectively reduce tgs, tc, LDL, percent body fat, Wc, sBP, DBP and increase HDL in a sample population of obese Iran male college students.
