Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate the effect of functional exercises at home and in the gym on cardiovascular indicators and fat profile in obese women aged 20 to 40.
Methods and Materials: Among the population of non-athlete obese women some were selected as samples. The number of 45 subjects was randomly divided into 3 groups: 1) control group, exercise group in the gym (EG), and exercise group at home (EH). 48 hours before and after the start of the training protocol, blood samples were taken from the elbow vein for TC, HDL and LDL values and the ratio of TC/HDL from all participants in resting conditions with at least 8 hours of fasting. Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), resting blood pressure, AIP, FFI, CRF factor and Framingham index were also measured. Then the exercise groups performed functional exercises (in the gym or at home) for 10 weeks. Analysis of covariance test was used to analyze the data at a significant level (P≤0.05) using SPSS software.
Results: EG for 8 weeks compared to the control groups and EH caused a significant decrease in weight (P=0.01) and BMI (P=0.01) of obese women aged 20 to 45 years. Also, in the intra-group comparison, only EG caused a significant decrease in waist circumference (P=0.02). EG caused a significant decrease in TC (P=0.004) compared to the EH. EG caused a significant decrease in systolic blood pressure (P=0.009) compared to the control group. EG compared to EH caused a significant decrease in Framingham risk score (P=0.004).
Conclusion: According to the results, it is suggested that the functional exercises used in this study should be used to improve body composition, TC and Framingham risk index in obese women aged 20 to 45 years in the gym under the supervision of a trainer.
