Reduction of juvenile obesity by programmed physical exercise and controlled diet
2012
Background/Aim. Obesity is the most common disease of nutrition and is the
consequence of reduced movement. Unfortunately, this problem is increasingly
present in juvenile age, so that the pediatric outpatient offices are
dominated by obese young people. The aim of this study was to evaluate and
quantify the effects of the reducing treatment for juvenile obesity conducted
by programmed physical exercise and controlled diet. Methods. We tested a
sample of 136 respondents of both sexes (76 girls and 60 boys) aged 13 ± 0.6
years. This prospective study took 3 months in 2007 using the experimental
methods of longitudinal weather precision. The data obtained after the
measurement were processed by the use of statistical programs to calculate
the basic and dispersion parameters. To determine the difference between the
initial and final measurements we applied the univariate analysis of variance
(ANOVA) and differences in the variables system in the space were determined
by multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results. The results of ANOVA
in the form of F values indicated that the differences between the initial
and final measurements in all parameters of circumference dimensionality and
subcutaneous fat tissue are significant (p = 0.00). Also, differences in
parameters of body constitution and indicators of alimentation showed a high
statistical significance (p = 0.00). The results of multivariante analysis
(MANOVA), using Wilk's Lambda test, also indicated that the differences
between initial and final measurements in the area of anthropometric measures
and indicators of alimentation and constitution, were statistically
significant (p = 0.00). Conclusion. Application of physical exercise and
controlled diet leads to a significant reduction of anthropometric parameters
and anthropological indicators of alimentation.
