Description
Summary:The aim of this study was to determine the effects of a combination of aerobic and resistance training plus dietary intervention on body composition, lipid profile, inflammation, and cardiorespiratory fitness in obese adolescents. Twenty-three obese adolescents were divided into two groups: Intervention Group (IG) that performed a combined exercise program plus nutritional intervention for 16 wks and a Control Group (CG) that did not performed any intervention. Body weight, height, body mass index, waist circumference, sum of triceps and subscapular skinfold thickness, fasting blood glucose, triglycerides, LDL-C, HDL-C, total cholesterol, hs-CRP, strength by one-maximum repetition, and [VO.sub.2]peak were measured. Across intervention period, effects were tested using analysis of variance for repeated measures with post hoc pairwise comparisons. There were significant improvements in body composition, lipid profile, hs-CRP, upper and lower body strength, and cardiorespiratory fitness in the IG when compared with the CG. There were no effects for fasting glucose, despite a slight decrease in the IG and a significant increase in the CG after 16 wks. The findings indicate that the combination of aerobic and resistance training plus dietary intervention resulted in an improvement in body composition, lipid profile, hs-CRP, and cardiorespiratory fitness in obese adolescents.
