Abstract
Background: Dyslipidemias are disorders of lipoprotein metabolism resulting in abnormal excesses of Total Cholesterol (TC), Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (LDL-C), or triglycerides, or deficiency of High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C). Dyslipidemia is an established risk factor for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). The leading cause of death for adults in the United States.
Purpose: To study the effect of aerobic training versus resisted exercise on hyperlipidemia in obese children.
Methods: Thirty obese patients of both sex with ages ranging from 14 to 17 years and suffering from hyperlipidemia. Patients were randomly assigned into two Groups (A & B) of equal numbers; each group consisted of fifteen patients. Parameters measured from both groups regarding body weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference, height, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C and HDL-C levels. 15 patients (6 girls and 9 boys) performed aerobic training with balanced diet Group (A) and the other 15 patients (8 girls and 7 boys) performed resisted exercises with balanced diet Group (B) for 12 weeks.
Results: The percent of improvement of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-C and HDL-C for Group (A) was 21.09%, 32.46%, 20.18% and 46.03% and for Group (B) was 17.16%, 27.28%, 15.06% and 65.17% respectively.
Conclusion: Using aerobic training or resisted exercises provides a safe, with minimal side effects and an effective alternative to pharmacological approaches hyperlipidemia in obese children as aerobic training has high significant im-provement on all lipid profile with more improvement in TC, TG, LDL than resisted exercises and while resisted exercises had high significant improvement on all lipid profile with more improvement in HDL than aerobic training.
