ABSTRACT

Introduction: The expressions overweight, obese and severe obesity pass on to an irrefutable field. Intemperance adiposity should be well thought-out an unremitting disease that has severe health consequences, impacting the majority health care professionals including cardiologists, endocrinologists, internists, family practitioners, and pediatricians. Hence, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of school based aerobic training on body mass index (BMI) of obese children that can decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases due to lifestyle modification and fitness. Methodology: A total of 45 (20 females and 25 males) childhood obese school going children aged between 8 to 14 years participated in this study. PAR-Q and You questionnaire was used for initial screening. The participants found fit for the purpose of training were given conditioning based on aerobic training protocols. At the beginning all participants were asked to perform warm up exercises following by aerobic training including jumping jacks and was performed then participants were given time to cool down. Result: The pre and post analysis suggested that eight weeks protocol based on school based aerobic training significantly reduces the BMI and heart rate of the candidates where the mean values of BMI pre training was found to be 30.82kg/m2 ±2.72 that was decreased to 28.82±2.45 post training of eight weeks with a mean difference of 2±0.5. The p-value at 95% confidence interval was less than 0.05 which indicates that the results are significant. Conclusion: Aerobic training based on school fitness programs if carefully administered and persistently followed can decrease BMI in young obese children that are easy to follow.
