Effects Of Moderate Intensity Interval Training In Running On Body Fat Patterns, Blood Pressure Serum Glucose Lipids And Lipoproteins Of Sedentary Nigerian Male Adults

📄 Project Abstract

This study examined the effects of 12 -week moderate intensity interval training in running on body fat patterns, lipids and lipoproteins, blood glucose and cardiovascular efficiency variables of sedentary Nigerian male adults. The body fat pattern variables included weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, Body Mass Index, Waist- Hip-Ratio and Conicity Index. lipids and lipoproteins included Total Cholesterol, Triglycerides, High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol, fasting blood glucose. The variables covered under cardiovascular efficiency included systolic and diastolic Blood Pressure, Mean Arterial Pressure, Resting Pulse Rate and Double Product. A 2 x 3 factorial design was used for this study in which 30 medically certified healthy sedentary adult men aged, between 20-30 were selected after obtaining their informed consent and were randomly divided into experimental and control groups of 15 subjects each.. The experimental group went th...
