Introduction: The prevalence of child and adolescent obesity is increasing rapidly worldwide. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of concurrent resistance-endurance trainings on body composition, glucose homeostasis, and blood lipid in obese girls.
Methods: In this clinical trial study, 20 schoolgirls volunteers (aged 13 to 15 years old) were randomly divided into experimental (n=10) and control (n=10) groups. The concurrent resistance-endurance training was performed for 12 weeks. The resistance trainings were conducted at 50% to 80% of one-repetition maximum (1RM), and endurance trainings were performed at 50% to 80% of target heart rate. Blood samples and body composition were measured before and after training. Data were analyzed by paired sample and independent t-test at α ≤ 0.05 significance level.
Results: The results showed that significantly decreased in body mass index (P=0.03), weight, fat percent, subcutaneous fat (P=0.001), hemoglobin A1c (P=0.02), and increase in high-density lipoprotein (P= 0.02), but low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol, triglyceride, fasting blood sugar, and plasma insulin did not change significantly (P> 0.05).
Conclusion: It seems that 12-week concurrent training can desirably improve body composition, hemoglobin A1c, and high-density lipoprotein in obese girls |
