Effect Of Aerobic Training On Serum Glucose, Insulin, Glucagon, Lipids And Lipoproteins Of Overweight Nigerian Male Adults

📄 Project Abstract

The study investigated the effect of aerobic training on serum glucose, insulin, glucagon, lipid and lipoproteins of overweight Nigerian male adults. The aerobic training program comprised of walking and jogging with stretching activities at the beginning and at the end of each training session. Seventeen (17) overweight male adults between the ages of 25 and 35 years volunteered to participate in this study. For the purpose of this study, an experimental study using one group repeated trials research design in which subjects were given different treatments at different times, was used. In this design, subjects underwent moderate intensity walk-jog aerobic training on three (3) alternate days per week between 40 and 45% HR max for 30 minutes within the first three 3 weeks; 45% and 50% HR max for 35 minutes from week 4 to 6; 50 and 55% HR max for 40 minutes from week 7 to 9, and 55 and 60 % HR max for 50 minutes from week 10 to 12. RPE scale was used to monitor the exertion of training ...
