Cardiopulmonary Resistance in Obese Individuals During Different Aerobic Exercises

Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is a major cause of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. Recent studies have reported that combined aerobic and anaerobic exercise effects are more effective for fat reduction. However, aerobic and anaerobic exercise have different fat reduction mechanisms. Comparing the intervention effects of different combinations of these exercises could provide an experimental basis for establishing an optimal protocol for weight loss. Objective: To study the effect of different aerobic exercise intensities on cardiorespiratory endurance in obese patients and its impact on fat loss. Methods: 18 obese female college students (BMI≥25) were randomly divided into two groups with different proportions of aerobic and anaerobic exercise. Bioimpedance data and BMI were collected for analysis. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistics, with mean and standard deviation expressed for each index. Significance level at p<0.05 and highly significant set at P<0.01. Results: The weight, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, and body fat content of the two exercise methods were positively changed before and after the experiment. This change had a very significant difference. Conclusion: There was no statistical difference in the interventions for the six weeks. Aerobic exercise can effectively improve cardiopulmonary function, and the benefits are directly proportional to the period practiced. Evidence Level II; Therapeutic Studies – Investigating the results.

Doenças crônicas não transmissíveis em agentes universitários de uma universidade pública do Sul do Brasil: prevalência e fatores associados

“…Retomando a relação entre DCNT e sobrepeso, vale destacar que a obesidade por si só é considerada uma doença crônica, caracterizada pelo acúmulo de tecido adiposo, acarretando aumento de volume corporal, bem como um desequilíbrio das funções dos tecidos e gordura corporal 16 . Estudos apontam que o excesso de peso é um dos principais fatores de risco para várias DCNT, como hipertensão arterial, outras doenças cardiovasculares, hiperinsulinemia e doenças psicológicas 17,18 , sendo resultante da interação de fatores genéticos, metabólicos, hormonais, ambientais e culturais 18 . Dessa forma, o sobrepeso e a obesidade vêm sendo uma grande preocupação à saúde, salientando que ambos podem causar prejuízos físicos, psicológicos e sociais.…”
