| Abstract |
This research was proceeded to find out the influence of regular spinning exercise to risk factors of metabolic syndrome and plasma visfatin concentration of adult male subjects with obesity. 50 minutes of spinning exercise was carried out 3 times a week for 8 weeks by 9 male test subjects with more than 25% body fat. The results acquired from the adult male test subjects with obesity after applying 8 weeks of spinning exercise, risk factors of metabolic syndrome such as, waist circle measurement, HR, systolic blood pressure, TG., insulin, and insulin resistance index showed improvements, and the exercise also resulted in positive effect by reducing plasma visfatin concentration. By reducing the weight and risk factors of metabolic syndrome, these research results provide the ground to the effectiveness of spinning exercise program to adult males with obesity. Considering the relatively short exercise period in this research, the fact that the test results showed overall improvements, although the indexes did not show statistical significance, in diastolic blood pressure, cholesterol levels. and glucose concentration leaves us with future tasks to verify the effectiveness of various training adaptations by applying longer exercise period to test subjects. |
