LATIHAN INTENSITAS SEDANG DAN BERAT MEMPERBAIKI VO2MAX, INDEKS MASSA TUBUH, DAN PERSEN LEMAK TUBUH REMAJA OBES
Abstract: The objective of
this study was to analyze the effects of moderate and high exercise intensity
on VO2max, body mass index (BMI), and percent of body fat in obese adolescents.
Thirty obese adolescents were randomly assigned to control, moderate intensity
training (MIT), and high intensity interval training (HIIT) groups. The MIT and
HIIT groups exercised by using treadmill for 40 minutes, three times per week
during six weeks of intervention. Exercise on the subject of MIT and HIIT
groups began with a five minute warm up by running on treadmill at 50-55%
HRmax. After warming up, the MIT group ran for 30 minutes at 65-70% HRmax.
Meanwhile, HIIT group should run for two minutes at 90-95% HRmax with one minute
active recovery at 55% HRmax between each interval for a total of 30 minutes.
Exercise ended with five minutes of cooling down at 50-55% HRmax. The results
showed that HIIT group significantly had higher VO2max than MIT group
(p<0.05). A signification reduction in body mass index and percent of body
fat was observed for MIT and HIIT groups in comparison to the control group
after the intervention (p<0.05). In conclusion, HIIT over six weeks
increased VO2max higher than MIT. HIIT and MIT are equally effective in
reducing BMI and percent of body fat in obese adolescents.
