Differential effects of a 12-week aerobic exercise program on health-related physical fitness, physiological and biochemical markers among obese adults: a randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Background. Work out is an valuable approach for improving standard of living physiological, biochemical, and physical strength in obese patients; though, few researches have mainly focal point on early survival rates, minorities, in physically passive men, and overweight men, or examined individual & combined workout plan and measured body composition markers. Purpose. In this research we have describes the effect of a 12-week different aerobic exercise involvement on obese people's self-reported result, physical strength, physiological and biochemical markers in ethnically mixed, physically motionless, obese adults. Material and methods. Total (n = 60) male adults with obese (Mean ± SD; age: 18.92 ± 1.54 yrs.; height: 172.4 ± 5.4 cm.; weight: 84.4 ± 6.3 kg) were randomly allocated into three equal (n = 20) groups: Step aerobic exercise training, floor aerobic exercise training or a control group. The step aerobic exercise training & floor aerobic exercise training protocol has been performed three days of a week during period of study (12 weeks). All the selected variables of physical fitness, physiological and biochemical markers have been examined at baseline and 12 weeks. Group under control have been found not performing workout. Results. The exercise program step aerobic exercise training & floor aerobic exercise training group significantly improved in muscular strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, muscular endurance, vital capacity, and breath holding time (p < 0.05). The workout schedule reduced significantly % body fat, mean resting pulse rate, respiratory rate and arterial blood pressure, (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the lipids levels of total triglycerides, cholesterol, and low density lipoprotein have been reduced significantly in step aerobic exercise training & floor aerobic exercise training, high density lipoprotein enhance significantly (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Research’s finding advocate that 12-weeks regular step aerobic exercise training & floor aerobic exercise training protocols have greater effects than control group on physical fitness of health related, physiological and biochemical variables in obese male adult individuals.
