The purpose of this study was to investigate the changes of abdominal fat, insulin resistance(HOMA index) and leptin concentration after 12 weeks combined training. Subjects were composed of fourteen middle aged obesity women. They have at least above 0.4 visceral fat and subcutaneous fat ratio.
The training program was separated aerobic training and muscular resistance training. The aerobic training was 70%HRmax(Intensity), 60 minutes a day(duration), 3 days(mon, wed, fri) a week(frequency). and the muscular resistance training was 70% of 1RM(Intensity), 60 minutes a day (duration), 2 days(tue, thu) a week(frequency) during 12 weeks. We found that VO₂max(0.28l/min) was increased after 12 weeks combined training and %body fat(3.57%), total abdominal fat(73.24㎤), visceral fat(18.94㎤), subcutaneous fat(54.29㎤), visceral fat and subcutaneous fat ratio(0.02) were significantly decreased after 12 weeks combined training.
Furthermore HOMA index and leptin concentration were decreased after 12 weeks combined training. In conclusion, combined training was shown to positive influence on body composition, insulin resistance and leptin concentration. So it is maybe thought that combined training was important role for obesity treatment.
