Abstract
Introduction. Numerous studies over the past decades have highlighted the importance of exercise in preventing many non-communicable diseases.
Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of endurance training on the lipid profile among students with normal weight obesity (NWO; normal BMI but high body fat percentage).
Material and method. Forty students with NWO were divided into two groups: the ENDU group received aerobic endurance exercise (running), and the CTRL group did not receive any intervention. The exercise program consisted of sixty-minute sessions, three times per week for twelve weeks. Body composition parameters (percent body fat [PBF], fat mass [FM], fat-free mass [FFM]) and total cholesterol (TC) were measured twice: before and after the intervention. Comparative tests were used to analyze the variables both within groups (paired t-test) and between groups (independent t-test).
Results. Significant improvements were observed in body composition and total cholesterol level after the endurance exercise intervention (p < 0.05). PBF, FM, FFM, and TC were all significantly higher in the CTRL group compared to the ENDU group post-intervention.
Conclusions. These findings clearly indicate that endurance exercise not only reduces body fat and improves body composition, but also plays an important role in enhancing overall health and preventing cardiometabolic disorders in students with normal weight obesity by monitoring FM and FFM.

Muhammad Labib Siena Ar Rasyid, Suroto, Oce Wiriawan,Arifah Kaharina, Afif Rusdiawan, Nugroho Susanto – Correlation between physical activity with body mass index and body fat percentage: A study of final year students in junior high school –  Fizjoterapia Polska 2025; 25(3); 132-138

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG7D19HTTN

Abstract
Study purpose. This study aims to determine the relationship between physical activity (PA), body mass index (BMI), and body fat percentage in final-year students at the junior high school level.
Methods. This research is quantitative with a correlational research design. The subjects in this study were 9th-grade students at SMP Negeri 1 Jogoroto who were selected using random sampling techniques. A total of 58 students (29 boys and 29 girls) were randomly selected and volunteered to participate in this study. PA levels were measured using the IPAQ questionnaire, body fat percentage was measured using the Tanita InnerScan Body Composition Monitor scales model BC-541, and BMI was obtained from the formula = body weight (kg)/body height² (m). The data analysis technique uses descriptive statistical tests and Spearman’s rho rank correlation with the help of Microsoft Excel 2016 and SPSS version 25.
Results. The results of the correlation test show that the correlation coefficient is negative and the significance is greater than 0.05 between PA and BMI (r = −0.162, p = 0.225 > 0.05) and body fat percentage (r = -0.095, p = 0.480 > 0.05). It can be said that these two relationships are weak, while BMI and body fat percentage have a positive correlation and significance less than 0.05 (r = 0.779, p = 0.000 < 0.05), indicating that BMI and body fat percentage have a strong correlation.
Conclusions. The conclusion is that PA is negatively correlated with BMI and body fat percentage, although neither relationship is significant. However, BMI was found to have a positive and significant correlation with body fat percentage in students. Therefore, it is recommended that students maintain their PA in line with WHO recommendations and keep their BMI within the normal range. If your BMI is normal, it is likely that your body fat percentage is also normal.

Mochamad Ridwan, Anindya Mar’atus Sholikhah, Arifah Kaharina, Himawan Putranta – Do Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) and levels of physical activity help to maintain fitness status? Study on futsal women’s. Fizjoterapia Polska 2022; 22(4); 38-43

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG1A6R1m

Abstract
Introduction. The level of fitness is fundamental in the athlete’s success in achieving optimum performance. Aim. This paper aims to know the rate of recommended dietary allowances (RDA) and the physical activity to stay fit. Material and Methods. Analytical observational analysis with the cross-sectional design was the approach used in this study. Participants in this study is women’s futsal player of 16 subjects was selected for measures of physical health, macronutrient consumption, nutritional status, nutritional awareness, and level of physical activity. Fitness levels were assessed using a Multi-stage Fitness Test (MFT), and nutritional knowledge and physical activity with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Analysis of data is carried out in univariate, bivariate, and multivariate form using statistical software. Results. The findings of this analysis are that energy consumption, carbohydrates, and proteins are all under the RDA for most female futsal athletes. Nutritional status is not a significant relation with the degree of fitness. Better dietary awareness may enable us to pay more attention to safer and more healthy eating behavior. The conclusion is that the average intake of calories, carbohydrates, and proteins in most female futsal athletes is still well below the RDA. Nutritional status has no significant relationship with fitness level. Good nutritional knowledge will encourage a person to pay more attention to his eating behavior to be healthier and more balanced. Conclusions. The conclusion is that the average intake of energy, carbohydrates, and protein in most female futsal athletes is still far below the recommended Nutritional Adequacy Rate (RDA).
