Abstract
Effect of long term regular aerobic training on the body weight, serum lipids and apolipoprotein were studied in 43 obese children (23 boys, 20 girls) initially aged 11 years. The training program consisted 20 minutes run with the heart rate of 140-150/min on two occasions per day for two years.Obesity index (Broca's) decreased significantly (39 vs. 22%) in the first year. In both sexes, the HDL-C increased significantly in the first year and it tended to a little recess in the second year. Total cholesterol did not change, but apo A-I (n=19) increased significantly in the first year. There was significant reduction in triglyceride after two years in girls. In conclusion, the concomitant improvement in lipoprotein metabolism with significant weight reduction after regular aerobic exercise in obese children would be beneficial.
