Effects of Type of Exercise on Obesity-related Hormone, Inflammatory Markers and Arterial Stiffness in Obese Male College Students

This study was conducted to find the effects of type of exercise on obesity-related hormone, inflammatory markers and arterial stiffness in obese male college students for 8 weeks. The participants were sampled from 20 obese male college students with 27% more body fat belong to I city. The participants were randomly assigned divided into two groups: 10 (21.9±1.29yrs) of ACS group(15min of 50~70%HRR / 2 t imes for wk / 8wks) and 10 (21.7±1.34yrs) of MSE group(9 major muscle of 60%1RM / 2 times for wk / 8wks). The statistical analysis was conducted by using G* power 3.0. Also, repeated measure 2 way ANOVA of GLM by mixed design, and independent t-test, were conducted by using SPSS ver. 24.0 program(IBM Corp.). The results obtained from this study were as follows; First, change in body weight and %body fat was significantly lower in ACE group than MSE group (p.01), but skeletal muscle mass was significantly higher in MSE group than ACE group (p.05). Second, change in reptin was not significantly between group (p.05). Third, Change in TNF-α and IL-6 was significantly lower in ACE group than MSE group (p.01, p.05), but adiponectin was significantly higer in ACE group than MSE group(p.05). Fourth, Change in LRVC and RRVC incteased in the MSE group than in the ACE group, but there was no statistically signicant difference(p.05). Change in LAVC and RAVC incteased in the ACE group than in the MSE group, but there was no statistically signicant difference (p.05).
