Abstract

Background: Morbid obesity is a very serious medical condition and immediate treatment is necessary to control and maintains healthy body mass index to avoid further health problems. The purpose of this investigation was to find out the effect of combined aerobics and resistance-training protocol on coronary heart disease (CHD) variables among morbid obese males. Method: A group of (N=40) participants was selected randomly to take part in this investigation during the year 2019. The age of the participants was in the range between 19-23 years, combined training (aerobic cum resistance) protocol engaged for 12 weeks, 40 minutes of training per session and two days in a week. These participants were segregated into two groups namely Group-A (N=20, combined aerobic cum resistance training group), Group-B (N=20 control group). The combined aerobic cum resistance training employed on group-A and no specific training was advise to control group-B. The pre and post-test considered for the coronary heart disease test as follows; Body mass index (BMI), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol, percent body fat, lean body fat and resting pulse rate. To compare the mean differences from pre to post test, mean, S.D, and t-test was computed with the help of SPSS software. Result and Discussion: Analysis of results after training programs revealed that experimental group in body mass index reduces (from 44.56 +/- 5.36 to 40.31 +/- 2.94, BMI, P<0.00), HDL improves (from 54.65 +/- 1.92 to 56.20P<0.00), LDL improves (from 120.41 +/- 6.34 to 109.90 +/- 6.80, P<0.00), total cholesterol changes (from 212.39 +/- 7.79 to 200.14 +/- 8.84,P<0.00), percent body fat improves (from 23.97 +/- 2.49 to 20.84 +/- 1.49,P<0.00), lean body mass improves (from 75.48 +/- 2.03 to 78.60 +/- 2.42,P<0.00), Resting pulse rate improves (from 73.95 +/- 3.80 to 71.30 +/- 4.19,P<0.00). Moreover, control group had not shown any improvement in the selected components, such as BMI, HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, percent body fat, lean body fat and resting pulse rate, and which is not significant. Conclusion: It is concluded that the combined training protocol on coronary heart diseases variables among morbid obese males had shown significant improvement from pre to post-test. Moreover, control group had not shown any significant improvement.
