Effects of high-intensity interval training on adipokines in obese male college students
Objective To explore the effects of 8-week high-intensity interval training on body shape and adipokines of obese male college students,so as to provide practical reference for weight loss of obese college students.Methods A total of 30 male college students[age(20.10±0.55)years]with body mass index(BMI)≥28 kg/m2 were recruited in March 2022 at China Univer-sity of Petroleum(East China).The 8-week high-intensity interval training(HIIT)intervention was conducted from 11 April to 10 June 2022,3 times a week(Monday,Wednesday,Friday),each time for 16:30-17:30.Body composition and adipokine levels were assessed before and after the intervention.All indicators were compared by paired-samples t-tests and single factor repeated measurement analysis of variance before and after intervention,and Pearson correlation analyses were used to test for associations between variables.Results After 8 weeks of intervention,BMI,waist circumference and body fat of obese male college students decreased from(31.36±4.41)kg/m2,(107.52±9.66)cm and(28.04±5.79)kg to(30.40±4.37)kg/m2,(100.67±8.29)cm and(22.56±5.22)kg,respectively(t=3.84,8.02,9.29).Fat-free body mass index increased from(70.19±5.54)kg/m2 to(75.34±5.25)kg/m2(t=-8.65)(P＜0.01).There were statistically significant differences in the levels of Leptin,Adiponectin,and Irisin before intervention,at week 4 and at week 8(F=26.05,35.62,4.95,P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the content of reticulin(F=3.62,P＞0.05).Conclusions The 8-week of HIIT can effectively improve body shape of obese male college students and affect the effects of adipokines in the body.HIIT can be added to sports exercise to improve the health status of obese college students.
