Summary

The primary objective was to investigate the effectiveness of interval training and to evaluate the best available method for measuring body composition and functional capacity.

Thirty obese subjects consecutively voluntarily participated in the current study. They ranked sedentary according to their level of activity (≥ 30-minute moderate physical activity 3days/wk). The training sessions were divided into the warm-up phase, training phase and a cool-down phase. The training programs were completed 3days/week for 12 weeks. Body composition was calculated by skinfold thickness method and bio-impedance before and after training. Similarly, aerobic capacities were measured by lactate threshold testing and by Astrand submaximal testing.

Interval Training

All individual of interventional group participated in an interval training program, which comprised of 3 days/week for twelve weeks. A booklet was given to each participant containing instructions and guideline about interval training. The interval training program was introduced as prescribed previously.17 After the workout, a cool down period of 5 minutes was given during which they perform paddling with low speed.
