EFFECT OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE ON
ADIPOSITY AND AEROBIC FITNESS IN
MIDDLE AGE MEN DIFFERING IN BODY
MASS
Vaclav Bunc

Overweight and/or obesity is a growing problem over the world. Alongside
a range of health problems associated with increased body mass (BM)
– adiposity and reducing of fitness level it is an important limiting factor for
realization of regular physical exercise and quality of life. The study goal was
to assess the effect of movement intervention in women differing in the BM.
Study was carried out in 45 men with normal BM (mean age=43.7±3.6 years;
BM=78.3±3.9 kg; height=177.5±4.6cm; %BF=23.1±2.1%), 46 overweight men
(42.0±2.9; 89.9±3.1; 178.1±4.0; 28.9±2.2%) and 38 obese men (43.8±3.0;
97.4±4.6; 178.3±3.2; 32.1±3.4%). All these subjects were without regularly
movement training before the starting of intervention. Body composition was
assessed by bioimpedance method using prediction equations that are valid
for the Czech middle-aged women population, functional variables were as-
sessed on a treadmill. The energy content of weekly movement program for
men with normal BM ranged from 1090 kcal to 2350 kcal (mean 1600±350
kcal) in males with overweight from 1338 kcal to 2180 kcal (1790±270 kcal)
and in obese men from 1710 kcal to 2340 kcal (1980±330 kcal). Reduction
in %BF ranged from 15.6% in obese to 16.4% in normal BM of starting value,
ECM/BCM relationship decreased from 11.0% in subjects with normal BM
to 12.2% in obese, and in VO2peak increased from 14.3% in normal BM to
16.7% in obese. In middle aged men differing in BM are absolute changes in
adiposity and aerobic fitness like a result of imposed movement intervention
substantively and statistically significant. On the contrary, differences in per-
centages of pre-intervention values are non-significant. We can conclude that
an exercise program with a similar energy content, form and intensity causes
the similar changes in adiposity and in motor and functional performance in
men, differing in BM.
