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.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG2EF83B3

Abstract
Aim. To determine the effect of radiofrequency on anthropometric measurements and lipid profile in postmenopausal women.
Material and methods. Sixty postmenopausal women diagnosed as having abdominal adiposity and abnormal lipid profiles were incorporated into this study. Participants were assigned at random into two equal groups. Group A adhered to a Mediterranean diet and engaged in aerobic exercise for 12 weeks (n = 30), whereas group B followed a Mediterranean diet and participated in both aerobic exercise and radiofrequency treatments for the same 12-week period (n = 30). Both groups had their anthropometric measurements, encompassing weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference, along with lipid profile components involving total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), and triglycerides (TG), assessed before and after the 12-week program duration.
Results. Significant improvements (p < 0.05) were noted in all outcome measures within both groups. Upon post-treatment comparison, both groups exhibited statistically significant reductions in all anthropometric measurements, LDL and TG (p < 0.05), while there was a statistically significant increase in HDL (p < 0.05) favoring group B. Nevertheless, there were no significant differences between groups for TC and VLDL (p > 0.05) after treatment.
Conclusion. Radiofrequency has positive effect on anthropometric measurements and lipid profile in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Background. The main aim of this work was the study of correlation between oxygen uptake (VO2max) estimated by the PWC 170 test and adiposity. Material and method. The study group consisted of 31 men, whose ages ranged from 18 to 51. Body composition was estimated by the method of J. Paoižkova. The degree of adiposity was estimated by BMI (kg/m2) and fat distribution according to the WHR index. In order to estimate cardio-pulmonary efficiency, the cyclometric PWC170 test was performed. Absolute and relative oxygen uptake was estimated on the basis of the intensity of workload. Results. The examined men had an average height of 177.8 ± 5.2 cm, weight 89.6 ± 13.8kg. The average BMI was 28.3 ± 4.4. Fatty tissue accounted for 29.2% (26.7 kg) of the total body weight (LBW was 70.2%). In this group of men, the maximal absolute oxygen uptake was 3071.7 ± 535.6ml/min, and the relative oxygen uptake was 34.8 ± 4.5 ml/kg/min. The highest positive correlation was obtained between absolute oxygen uptake and fatty tissue content in kg and % (r = 0.790 and r = 0.752), body mass (r = 0.717), hip circumference (r = 0.709), and BMI (r = 0.702). High negative correlation was obtained between the age of the examined men and the relative and absolute oxygen uptake (r = – 0.858 and – 0.504, respectively).

Milan Cabric, Helena Krakowiak, Renata Janczak – Comparison of body constitution and body composition in female students in various fields of study. Fizjoterapia Polska 2003; 3(3); 272-276

Abstract

Background. The purpose of our research was to compare the body constitution and composition of female physical education students at the Bydgoszcz Academy to those of female students of other Bydgoszcz colleges. Material and methods. The study involved 52 female students of physical education at the Bydgoszcz Academy and 160 female students at the Academy of Medicine and the College of Hotel Management and Tourism in Bydgoszcz. The tests were performed in 2000-2001 at the Department of Anthropology of the Bydgoszcz Academy of Medicine. The somatotype of the subjects was determined by the method of B. Heath and L. Carter, and the body composition was tested by segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis (SBIA). Results. The physical education students were taller, had larger upper arm circumference without fat tissue, and showed a significantly smaller proportion of the endomorphic component in body constitution, in comparison to female students from the other colleges. In terms of body composition, also, apart from the percentage content of fat tissue, the physical education students achieved significantly higher values in the majority of the tested parameters. Conclusion. Female physical education students, as opposed to female students from the remaining colleges, were characterized by greater muscle mass, with a significantly smaller degree of body fat.
