Abstract
The study was designed to examine the effects of aerobic exercise training on body composition, insulin resistance and appetite control hormone of obese college female students. Eighteen obese college female students were volunteered to participate in this study as subjects, and they were randomly assigned to either aerobic exercise training group(n=9) or control group(n=9). The subjects in aerobic exercise training program for 50min/session, four times per week for 10 weeks, whereas subjects in control were asked to maintain their normal life pattern for the same intervention period. All subjects were asked not to change their physical activity pattern and energy intake throughout the intervention period. Main results of the present study were as follows: 1) Weight, BMI, and % body fat were significantly decreased in aerobic exercise training group. 2) Insulin and insulin resistance were significantly decreased in aerobic exercise training group. But Insulin and insulin resistance were significantly increased in control group. 3) Leptin was significantly decreased in aerobic exercise training group. But ghrelin was not changed significantly in both groups.
