Description
Summary:Weight reduction in obesity brought about by physical training has been associated with numerous metabolic adaptations including preservation of lean body mass, improved muscle endurance, increased insulin sensitivity, improved high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio, and improved ability of the muscle cell to take up glucose and metabolize fat. [7] Although it was reported that body fat percentage enhances fatigability, data regarding the blood pressure response in obese individuals with varying body fat percentage were not well documented. [...]this study was undertaken to compare the fat percentage with muscle strength/endurance and blood pressure response in young adults. According to Tomlinson et al., obese adult females belong to 18-49 years old, have significantly greater plantar flexor strength that their age-matched normal and underweight counterparts. The association between BMI and fat percentage was found to be significant, whereas the correlation between the fat percentage and blood pressure response was insignificant which was not as expected. [...]a large sample size with a wide range of age group and belonging to wider range of fat percentage is required to establish or to confirm the association between the muscle strength/endurance in general obese subjects is warranted.
