Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Moderate Intensity Training (MIT) and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) on the number of platelets used as a treatment option for obesity.
Materials and methods. This research is a true experimental laboratory study with a post test only control group design. Using 21 obese male Wistar rats with a distribution of 7 Wistar HIIT groups, 7 Wistar MIT, and 7 control Wistar groups. The exercise intervention consisted of HIIT intensity (90-100% of baseline ability), MIT intensity (60-80% of baseline ability), and control without training for six weeks. A special mouse treadmill is used for exercise. Platelet measurement by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Hematology tests are used to determine platelets. Data analysis used the Anova test.
Results. There was a significant difference in platelets between the control, MIT and HIIT groups (p = 0.015). The mean value of platelets in MIT and HIIT was higher than the control group. HIIT vs Control there was no significant difference (p = 0.816) and MIT vs Control there was a significant difference (p = 0.017). Likewise HIIT vs MIT there is no significant difference (P = 0.058).
Conclusion. Exercise with HIIT and MIT for 6 weeks can be used as an alternative to overcome obesity because it can reduce weight in obesity and is accompanied by an increase in platelets.
