Brief summary

The purpose of the study was to observe therapeutic effects of combined resistance and aerobic exercise training (CRAE) on hyperinsulemia in obese adolescent girls. Forty obese adolescent girls (14±1 years) participated in this study. The participants were randomly separated into two groups; no-exercise group (n=20) and exercise group (n=20). The exercise group performed 12 weeks of CRAE.

Interventions

The combined exercise training were consisted with 5 minutes of warm-up, 20 minutes of resistant band exercises (Upper: seated rows, biceps curl, shoulder flexion, elbow flexion, pushup; Lower: hip flexion, hip extension, calf raise, leg press, squat), 30 minutes of treadmill walking, and 5 minutes of cool-down. Intensity of the training was gradually increased from 40-50% heart rate reserve in 1-4 weeks to 60-70% HRR in 9-12 weeks.
