Effects of Self-controlled Training Following a Supervised Conditioning Intervention Program on Physiologic Status in Obese Women
【Supercategory：7. DESCENTE SPORTS SCIENCE Subcategory：7.8 Vol.8】
A follow-up study was conducted to re-evaluate a group of obese middle-aged women (n=13), eight of whom had completed an 18-wk supervised (3 d/wk) plus unsupervised (2.2 d/wk) conditioning intervention program (at least 90 min per day). Each session had included a 25- to 45-min jog-run between the heart rate (HR) corresponding to lactate threshold (LT) and 30 b/min above the HR@LT.
During 1 year following the conditioning program, the women participated in a self-controlled training program such as running, aerobic dance, or jazz dance 2.6 d/wk. Dietary intake averaged approximately 1729 kcal (or 27.0 kcal/kg/d) at the pre-treatment, 1393 kcal/d (or 25.5 kcal/kg/d) at the posttreatment, and 1624 kcal/d (or 28.4 kcal/kg/d) 1 year after the post-test. Almost all physiological variables (702@LT, VO₂max, weight, fat-free weight, fat weight, systolic blood pressure, HDL-C/TC, LDL-C, TG, etc.) remained essentially unchanged; yet the first seven of these variables were still significantly different from the original pretreatment values.
It is concluded that physiologic status of obese middle-aged women engaged in a conditioning intervention program may not regress to pretreatment status for at least one year after completion; provided they continue to participate in a 3-d/wk self-controlled training program with dietary intake of 1500-1600 kcal/d. In addition, improved self-concept and/or increased feelings of self-control associated with participation in an unsupervised conditioning program may also be important for successful maintenance of enhanced physiologic status.
