Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to assess the effects of 10-week water-based aerobic training (thrice a week) on anthropometrics, biochemicals, cardiovascular parameters, and explosive strength in young overweight and obese women. The findings indicate that water-based aerobic training could be a useful program to enhance body composition, biochemical, cardiovascular, and explosive strength parameters in young overweight and obese women compared to inactive persons

Description:

This study is based on a randomized controlled trial with a pre-to-post testing design, twenty-seven young overweight and obese women were assigned to training group (a water-based aerobic training) or control group (maintaining their usual activities during the studying period. For each training session, water activities were implemented for 50 min which included warm-up (10 min), main activities (30 min), and cool-down (10 min). The swimming pool where the intervention took part was 1.50 m deep of water. The pre- and post-intervention participants were assessed for their anthropometrics, biochemicals (fasting glycemia, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride (TG)), resting blood pressure, and resting heart rate, and explosive strength of upper (countermovement jump and squat jump) and lower limbs (a seated medicine ball throw test).
