ABSTRACT
The present study was aimed to propose the necessity of compound exercise to prevent and control peripheral neuropathy among many obesity-related complications. To attain the objective, this study carried out an experiment with 20 middle-aged men with obesity. They were given compound exercise and their body composition, isokinetic muscular function, and nerve conduction velocity were measured. The findings are as follows.
It was found that compound exercise program changed body composition, reducing weight, BMI, and body fat percentage after the program.
In addition, compound exercise changed the isokinetic muscular functions of obese male adults. The isokinetic muscular functions of extensor strength and flexor strength in both knee joints improved after the compound exercise program: maximum muscular strength 60°/sec, muscular power 180°/sec and muscular endurance 240°/sec.
Of nerve conduction velocities, test and amplitude potential of sensory nerve action of peroneal nerve showed statistically significant difference changed after the compound exercise program. In addition, statistically significant difference was also found in peroneal nerve, which is sensory nerve. Moreover, deep peroncal (fibular) nerve and tibial nerve, which are motor nerves, were turned out
