Aquatic and Land Physical Training Effects on Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Adolescents With Overweight and Obesity

Summary

Objective: To compare the results of two types of low-impact exercise training, in and out of the water, with the control group, regarding cardiometabolic risk factors in overweight adolescents; and to investigate the changes resulting from interventions in biochemical, anthropometric, psychological variables and body composition.

Experimental design: Randomized clinical trial with overweight and obesity adolescents.

Local Search: College of Physical Education of Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul and Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre, city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil.

Participants: Took part in the study 75 overweight and obesity adolescents, pubertal and post-pubertal, recruted by announcement in the most important newspapers of Porto Alegre city.

Intervention: Adolescents that acepted to participate in the study, and authorized by their parents, were randomized into three groups: Group Land / Jump, with three weekly sessions Jump; Water / hidrogimnastic group, with three weekly sessions of hidrogminastic; Control group that not participate in physical exercise intervention. The intervention will last 12 weeks and three groups participate in weekly sessions of nutritional guidance. Assessments occur at the beginning of the intervention program and 72 hours after the 12th week of the program. The results of all study variables among the three groups in the two time points, and in each group between the two periods, will compared.

Measures: Anthropometric, biochemical and blood pressure evaluations, in addition to applying instruments for assessing quality of life, body image and mental health by experienced evaluators, as well as blood draws conducted by an experienced gatherer's Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre.

Expected Results: In the study, are been expected to verify that the exercise programs, aquatic and land, associated with nutritional guidance, are efficient to modify positively the outcomes studied.
