Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objective was to investigate the effectiveness of interval training and to evaluate the best available method for measuring body composition and functional capacity.

Thirty obese subjects consecutively voluntarily participated in the current study. They ranked sedentary according to their level of activity (≥ 30-minute moderate physical activity 3days/wk). The training sessions were divided into the warm-up phase, training phase and a cool-down phase. The training programs were completed 3days/week for 12 weeks. Body composition was calculated by skinfold thickness method and bio-impedance before and after training. Similarly, aerobic capacities were measured by lactate threshold testing and by Astrand submaximal testing.

Study Groups

Study Group

Participants were voluntarily participated by non-probability consecutive sampling. It was a one group study with a limitation of non-randomization. The interventional group had performed interval training for 12 weeks, 3 days/week (figure 1). They sedentary conferring to activity level (≥ 30-minute, 3 days/weeks, moderate-intensity physical activity). They were not participated in any interval training program before participating in the study from six months. Written consent was taken after demonstration of the purpose, procedure, and related pros and cons. They were instructed to participate regularly in interval training.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Interval Training

Intervention Type OTHER

All individual of interventional group participated in an interval training program, which comprised of 3 days/week for twelve weeks. A booklet was given to each participant containing instructions and guideline about interval training. The interval training program was introduced as prescribed previously.17 After the workout, a cool down period of 5 minutes was given during which they perform paddling with low speed. All training program was supervised by a qualified physical therapist.
