Summary

PURPOSE:

The study aims to:

Investigate the effect of the designed aerobic exercise program on the blood glucose level (fasting blood glucose and HbA1C) in overweight/ obese pre-diabetic adolescents.

2\) Investigate the effect of the designed aerobic exercise program on the BMI, aerobic capacity, and waist circumference of the participant before and after the designed aerobic exercise program.

3\) Investigate the effect of the designed aerobic exercise program on the quality of life in overweight/ obese pre-diabetic adolescents.

4\) Compare the effect of the diet program only and the diet with a designed aerobic exercise program on the blood glucose level (FBG, HbA1C) and the quality of life of the participants.

BACKGROUND:

Obesity is defined as a common chronic disorder of excessive body fat. It has become a global epidemic that is present not only in the industrialized world but also in many developing and even underdeveloped countries (Hans, 2017).

Overweight children and adolescents often suffer from symptoms of depression and anxiety, poor self-esteem, and social stigma. These psychological aspects complicate global care and affect the quality of life (QOL). The overall QOL score was lower in the overweight and obese groups compared with the normal-weight groups in all the clinical population studies. The published results also indicate that impairment in QOL worsens with a degree of obesity (Marie et al., 2014).

HYPOTHESES:

There will be no significant difference effect between the diet program only and diet program with a designed aerobic exercise program on blood glucose levels and QOL in overweight/ obese prediabetic adolescents.

RESEARCH QUESTION:

Does the designed aerobic exercise influence the blood glucose level and the quality of life in pre-diabetic overweight/obese adolescents?
