Brief Summary

Obesity is one of the common public problems that its prevalence increase incredibly in the last three decades in KSA. Thirty obese males aged 20 to 39 years will participate in the study. The participants will be evaluated on skinfold thickness, percent of body fat, lipid profile, and exercise capacity. All participants will perform a circuit training of aerobic and resistance exercises and be instructed to follow a low carbohydrate diet for eight weeks.

Study Groups

Experimental Group

The participants will receive circuit training exercise and dietary intervention.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Circuit training exercise

Intervention Type: OTHER

circuit training exercise start with 5 minutes of warming-up then followed by a 30-minute conditioning protocol formed 20 minutes of aerobic exercise and 10 minutes of resisted exercise. The cool-down period is doing in form of walking on a treadmill in low intensity for 5 minutes.

Aerobic exercise will be performed on an electronically-braked cycle ergometer (Quinton Excalibur, QuintonInstrument Company, Bothell, WA). resistance exercise (RT) in the form of eight different exercises will be performed during each workout: military press, leg extension, bench press, standing leg curl (ankle weights), lateral pull-down, dumbbell triceps push-down, dumbbell seated biceps curl, and sit-ups (abdominal curls).

The participant will do 10 minutes for Aerobic exercise followed by 10 minutes of resistance exercise then 10 minutes for Aerobic exercise. This cycle training will perform five days per week for eight weeks.

Healthy high Fiber diet

Intervention Type: DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

The diet will be tailor-made for the individual for the body type and obesity in consultation with the nutritionist.

Control group

The participants will be only involved in dietary intervention.

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Healthy high Fiber diet

Intervention Type: DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

The diet will be tailor-made for the individual for the body type and obesity in consultation with the nutritionist.
