Effect of short term exercise on abdominal obesity and blood pressure
Abstract
Introduction: obesity is associated with a variety of chronic diseases, including but not limited to coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes, and certain forms of cancer. The present study was designed to examine the effects of short-term exercise on markers of obesity.
Material and methods: This was a randomized trial in 52 overweight and obese [body mass index (in kg/m2): 25–40; waist circumference >88 cm], women assigned to 16 week interventions of short term Exercise (3 d/wk) involved treadmill walking at an intensity of 45–50% (moderate-intensity) or 70–75% (vigorous-intensity) of heart rate reserve. The primary outcome was abdominal visceral fat volume determined by the measurement of waist and hip circumferences ratio.
Results: Average height of the females under study is 159.96 cm and average weight of females before exercise is 68.92 kg, it shows that the females in our study are overweight. After exercise training program, weight, arm circumference, chest circumference, WHR and BMI decreased significantly (Z= 4.27,7.30 , 4.99, 8.51 and 3.27 respectively ). Similarly systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (Z=5.74 and 1.75 respectively) was decreased significantly after exercise training.
Conclusion: Short term exercise intervention can induce favourable changes in the body composition, but the magnitude of these changes is of limited biological significance.
