INTERNATIONAL OBESITY, BARIATRIC AND
METABOLIC SURGERY SUMMIT AND EXPO
Statement of the Problem:
Students of university tend to decrease the
amount of exercise compared to their previous years and start to drink
alcohol at a certain age. It may turn out to be a problem in their later
years when they start to decrease the metabolic rate and be the cause of
the lifestyle related diseases. It is known to promote basal metabolism is
important to prevent obesity. Researchers have reported that the expansion
of lung capacity by exercise, giving impetus to brown adipocyte, increasing
muscles, choosing the specific food to consume and so on are important for
promoting basal metabolism. However, it is not clear if the circuit training
at home has an impact on increasing muscles effectively while decreasing
fat. The purpose of this study is to show what kind of exercise will affect
university females’ health including gaining muscles and boning density.
Methodology:
Forty one females were recruited with a mean age of 18.5
(range- 18 to 20 years). The follow-up after the intervention was conducted
2 months and 3 months later. The circuit training structured by each subject
in choosing the type of exercise from the list researcher made and asked
them to do it for 15 minutes at least 3 times in a week. Those subjects were
divided into 2 groups of the subjects who had exercise as ordered and the
others.
Findings:
People in both the groups have increased “stiffness scores”
representing bone mass at 2 months and 3 months later but the changes in
other factors were different. The muscle mass was gained in the performed
training group and the body fat percentage was gained in the other group.
Conclusion:
Even a small amount of exercise affects the health of the
university female students and it will be related to the health at their later
lives.
