Introduction: Excess body fat and abdominal obesity have been associated with cardiovascular diseases. While aerobic exercise is often recommended to prevent fat accumulation, less evidence exists detailing the specific effects of resistance exercise, independent of or combined with aerobic exercise, on the development of excess body fat and abdominal obesity. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that resistance exercise would be associated with a lower incidence of developing excess body fat and abdominal obesity. Methods: Participants were 7,685 men and women aged 18 to 89 years (mean age, 46) who received a preventive medical examination during 1987-2005 in the Aerobics Center Longitudinal Study. Participants with a history of myocardial infarction, stroke, cancer, excess body fat, or abdominal obesity at baseline were excluded. Resistance exercise (RE) and meeting the 2008 US Physical Activity Guidelines (RE ≥2 days/week) for RE were determined by self-reported leisure-time exercise. Excess body fat was defined as % body fat (≥25 in men, ≥30 in women) based on underwater weighing or skinfold measurements and abdominal obesity as waist girth (>102 cm in men, >88 cm in women). Cox regression was used to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of incident excess body fat and abdominal obesity by RE levels after adjusting for baseline age, sex, examination year, body weight, current smoking, heavy alcohol drinking, and meeting aerobic exercise (AE) guidelines (≥500 MET-minutes per week). Results: During an average follow-up of 5 years, 1517 (20%) developed excess body fat and 552 (14%) developed abdominal obesity. Individuals meeting the RE guidelines (30%; 2323 of 7685) had a 26% and 25% lower risk of developing excess body fat (HR: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.65 to 0.84) and abdominal obesity (HR: 0.75; 95% CI: 0.61 to 0.92), respectively, after adjusting for potential confounders including AE. The HRs (95% CIs) of incident abdominal obesity were 0.70 (0.48-1.01), 0.62 (0.44-0.87), 0.98 (0.67-1.42), and 0.62 (0.42-0.91), while the HRs (95% CIs) of incident excess body fat were 0.84 (0.69-1.03), 0.71 (0.59-0.86), 0.75 (0.59-0.96), and 0.56 (0.43-0.72), in weekly RE time of 1-59, 60-119, 120-179, and ≥180 minutes/week, respectively, compared with no RE. In the combined analysis of RE and AE, HRs (95% CIs) of incident excess body fat and abdominal obesity were 0.71 (0.53-0.95) and 0.62 (0.37-1.04) in meeting RE guidelines only, 0.86 (0.77-0.97) and 0.80 (0.66-0.97) in meeting AE guidelines only, and 0.65 (0.56-0.75) and 0.62 (0.49-0.79) in meeting both RE and AE guidelines, respectively, compared with meeting none of the guidelines. Conclusions: We found that RE, independent of and combined with AE, is associated with a reduced risk of developing excess body fat and abdominal obesity.

 ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui pengaruh kombinasi latiahan aerobic dan asupan kafein untuk menurunkkan Body Mass Index dan Percent Body Fat Pada Wanita Overweight. Penelitian eksperimental ini dilakukan pada 12 wanita usia 19-22  tahun. Desain penelitian Treatment by subject, perlakuan 1  Latihan Aerobik 14 kali sesi dan perlakuan 2 pemberian Kafein dan Latihan Aerobik 14 kali sesi. Subyek diukur BB, TB (BMI), PBF (skinfold callifer) sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Hasil penelitian terjadi penurunan BMI pada P2 lebih  tinggi daripada P1 (0,75+0,39; 0,44+0,23), hasil uji t-test menunjukan hasil perbedaan yang signifikan 0,041 (p<0,05). Penurunan PBF pada P2 lebih tinggi dibandingkan P1 (0,84±0,23; 0,42±0,30), uji t-test menunjukan hasil perbedaan yang signifikan 0,001 (p<0,05). Simpulan dan saran: efek latihan aerobik dan pemberian kafein dapat menurunkan body mass index dan percent body fat pada wanita overweight usia 19-22 tahun. Kata kunci : BMI; kafein; latihan aerobik; overweight; PBF.  ABSTRACT Controlling body weight can be done with aerobic physical activity. Besides caffeine in the body's metabolism can also reduce body mass and percent fat, if both are combined can provide a more effective influence in reducing Body Mass Index and Percent Body Fat in Overweight of female. This experimental study was conducted on 12 women aged 19-22 years. Research design Treatment by subject, treatment 1; Aerobic exercise 14 sessions and treatment 2 Caffeine and Aerobic Exercise 14 sessions. Subjects measured BB, TB (BMI), PBF (skinfold callifer) before and after treatment. The results of the study showed a decrease in BMI in P2 higher than P1 (0.75 + 0.39; 0.44 + 0.23), the results of the t-test showed a significant difference of 0.041 (p <0.05). The decrease in PBF in P2 was higher than P1 (0.84 ± 0.23; 0.42 ± 0.30), the t-test showed a significant difference of 0.001 (p <0.05). Conclusion: the effect of the combination of aerobic exercise and caffeine intake is more effective in reducing body mass index and percent body fat in overweight of female. Keywords: aerobic exercise; BMI; caffeine; overweight; PBF.

This investigation was undertaken to: 1) determine the effects of a short-term aerobic exercise program on fitness, 2) pre-test possible physiological metrics for inclusion in a fitness information feedback system in anticipation of a future long-term research study. Eight female participants in an eight-week aerobic exercise program served as subjects. Three measurement sessions (pre-, mid-, and post-program) were used to collect: body weight, percent body fat, resting heart rate, resting systolic blood pressure, resting diastolic blood pressure, submaximal heart rate during bicycle ergometer exercise, recovery heart rate, and post-exercise systolic and diastolic blood pressures. VO2 max was predicted based on submaximal heart rate, workload, and weight. Subjects were given measurement results following each session as a form of fitness information feedback. Results based on multivariate analysis of variance, univariate analysis at variance, and subsequent Newman-Keuls tests revealed that short-term aerobic exercise classes can be expected to produce cardiovascular training effects, but have minimal effect on body weight and percent body fat.

Background Obesity is a serious social and public health problem in the world, especially in children and adolescents. For school-age children with obesity, this stage is in the transition from childhood to adolescence, and both physical, psychological, and external environments will be full of challenges. Studies have showed that school-age children are the largest proportion of people who continue to be obese in adulthood. Physical exercise is considered as an effective way to control weight. Therefore, we focus on this point to study which factors will be improved to reduce childhood obesity. Objective To assess the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on physical indexes, such as body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage, and cardiovascular risk factors such as VO2peak, triglycerides (TG) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), total cholesterol (TC), insulin and insulin resistance in school-age children who are overweight or obese. Method PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Medline, Cochrane-Library, Scopus, Ovid and Web of Science were searched to locate studies published between 2000 and 2021 in obese and overweight school-age children between 6–12 years old. The articles are all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and in English. Data were synthesized using a random-effect or a fixed-effect model to analyze the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on six elements in in school-age children with overweight or obese. The primary outcome measures were set for BMI. Results A total of 13 RCTs (504 participants) were identified. Analysis of the between-group showed that aerobic and resistance exercise were effective in improving BMI (MD = -0.66; p < 0.00001), body fat percentage (MD = -1.29; p = 0.02), TG (std.MD = -1.14; p = 0.005), LDL (std.MD = -1.38; p = 0.003), TC (std.MD = -0.77; p = 0.002), VO2peak (std.MD = 1.25; p = 0.001). However, aerobic and resistance exercise were not significant in improving HDL (std.MD = 0.13; p = 0.27). Conclusions Aerobic exercise and resistance exercise are associated with improvement in BMI, body fat percentage, VO2peak, TG, LDL, TC, while not in HDL in school-age children with obesity or overweight. Insulin and insulin resistance were not able to be analyzed in our review. However, there are only two articles related to resistance exercise in children with obesity and overweight at school age, which is far less than the number of 12 articles about aerobic exercise, so we cannot compare the effects of the two types of exercises.
