Conditions

Obesity (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2) Aquatic interval training&#44

Interventions

Obese participants in control group will be received a usual care&#44
based stretching exercise program 3 times/week&#44
and required to maintain their physical activity level&#44
usual dietary intake and also alcohol consumption throughout the study. Stretching exercise program and the brochure will be distributed to a control group in the first day after outcome measuring pro
and a stretching exercise program will be taught by the researcher. ,Obese participants in experimental group will be received the training program whic included a high intensity aquatic interval trai
75% of heart rate reserve (HRR) 3 sessions per week&#44
totally 6 weeks. They will be required to maintain their physical activity level&#44
usual dietary intake and also alcohol consumption throughout the study.
