Differential Effects

Background: Endurance training (ET) and resistance training (RT) are known to be effective in improving anthropometric/body composition and lipid panel indicators, but there is an evident lack of studies on differential effects of these two forms of physical exercise (PE). This study aimed to evaluate the differential effects of 8-week ET and RT among young adult women. Methods: Participants were women (n = 57; age: 23 ± 3 years; initial body height: 165 ± 6 cm; body mass: 66.79 ± 7.23 kg; BMI: 24.37 ± 2.57 kg/m2) divided into the ET group (n = 20), RT group (n = 19), and non-exercising control group (n = 18). All participants were tested for cardiovascular risk factors (CRF), including total cholesterol, high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides, glucose, and anthropometric/body composition (body mass, body mass index, skinfold measures, body fat %) at the beginning and at the end of the study. Over the 8 weeks, the ET group trained three times/week on a treadmill while the RT group participated in equal number of circuit weight training sessions. Both types of training were planned according to participants’ pre-study fitness status. Results: A two-factor analysis of variance for repeated measurements (“group” × “measurement”) revealed significant main effects for “measurement” in CRF. The “group × measurement” interaction was significant for CRF. The post-hoc analysis indicated significant improvements in CRF for RT and ET. No significant differential effects between RT and ET were evidenced. Conclusions: The results of this study evidence improvements of CRF in young adult women as a result of 8-week ET and RT. The lack of differential training-effects may be attributed to the fact that all participants underwent pre-study screening of their fitness status, which resulted in application of accurate training loads.

The Relationship

Background:The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between steps per day and adiposity among college women.Methods:This study was cross-sectional and included women ages 18–25. Participants wore a pedometer for 7 consecutive days. Body composition was assessed using air-displacement plethysmography. Height, weight, and waist and hip circumferences were assessed.Results:The women took 10,119 ± 2836 steps per day. When divided into quartiles by steps, the top 2 quartiles of women in the study had significantly lower BMI, percent body fat, and waist and hip circumferences than the bottom quartile of women (P ≤ .05). Percent body fat was different between the bottom 2 quartiles and the top 2 quartiles (P ≤ .05). The odds of having a body fat of greater than 32% were reduced by 21.9% for every increase of 1,000 steps taken per day (P ≤ .05).Conclusions:Steps per day are related to body composition in young adult women, but this relationship weakens with progressively higher step counts. A reasonable recommendation for steps in young adult women that is associated with the lowest BMIs and body fat seems to be between 10,000–12,000 steps per day.

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Gaya hidup sedenter menyebabkan penurunan aktivitas fisik yang merupakan faktor terjadinya penyakit tidak menular salah satunya dislipidemia. Zumba sebagai bentuk latihan aerobik yang banyak diminati oleh dewasa muda dapat menurunkan kadar LDL dan tingkat stres oksidatif yang diukur dengan biomarker malondialdehid (MDA). Tujuan: Mengetahui pengaruh latihan Zumba terhadap kadar LDL dan MDA pada wanita usia dewasa muda. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan jenis penelitian eksperimental dengan rancangan two groups pre and post test design. Subjek penelitian sebanyak 36 orang wanita, dibagi menjadi kelompok perlakuan (n=18) dan kelompok kontrol (n=18). Kelompok perlakuan melakukan latihan Zumba selama 60 menit dengan frekuensi 2 kali seminggu selama 8 minggu secara virtual. Pengukuran kadar LDL dan MDA menggunakan sampel darah subjek penelitian. Analisis data dengan uji t-berpasangan, uji Wilcoxon dan uji Mann-Whitney. Hasil: Tidak terdapat penurunan kadar LDL namun terjadi penurunan kadar MDA yang signifikan pada kelompok perlakuan setelah latihan Zumba selama 8 minggu. Pada kelompok perlakuan kadar LDL meningkat dari 94,18±25,60 mg/dL menjadi 105,82±27,64 mg/dL (p<0,05) dan kadar MDA menurun dari 1,71±0,28 µmol/L menjadi 0,37±0,64 µmol/L (p<0,05). Tidak terdapat perbedaan kadar LDL yang bermakna, sebaliknya terdapat perbedaan kadar MDA yang bermakna antara kelompok perlakuan dan kontrol. Simpulan: Latihan Zumba dengan frekuensi 2 kali seminggu selama 8 minggu secara virtual tidak dapat menurunkan kadar LDL namun dapat menurunkan kadar MDA secara signifikan. Kata kunci: latihan Zumba, low density lipoprotein, malondialdehid

Endurance training (ET) has multiple beneficial effects on cardiovascular health (CVH), but there is an evident lack of knowledge on differential effects of various types of ET on indices of CVH in women. The aim of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of two different types of ET on changes in indicators of CVH in apparently healthy adult women. The sample included 58 women (24 ± 3 years; height: 165 ± 6 cm, mass: 66.7 ± 7.2 kg, BMI: 24.3 ± 2.5 kg/m2, at baseline) divided into one control non-exercising group (n = 19), and two exercising experimental groups (EE). The first EE participated in choreographed aerobic-endurance training (CAT; n = 19), while the second participated in treadmill-based endurance exercise (TEE; n = 20) during the experimental protocol (8 weeks, 24 training sessions). The testing included pre- and post-exercise protocols and measures of anthropometric/body composition indices, lipid panel, and endurance capacity. Two-way analysis of variance for repeated measurements with consecutive post hoc analysis was applied to the “group” and “measurement” variables. The main significant ANOVA effects found for measurement, and “Group x Measurement” interaction (p < 0.05) were found for all variables but body height. The EE induced positive changes in lipid panel variables, anthropometric/body-build status, and endurance capacity. However, TEE improved endurance capacity to a greater extent than CAT. The results suggest that that the optimal exercise intensity and self-chosen type of physical-activity may result in positive effects on indices of CVH, even in women of young age and good health status.
