Abstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aerobic exercise combined with circuit
training on body weight management. In this study, 40 male recruited as Subjects. They were
divided randomly into two groups equal in number exercise group (n=20) and control group
(n=20) out of 40 subjects two subjects from TG two subjects from CG with draw training only 36
were able to accomplish the study .The first group (Treatment group) included 20 males treated
with AECT 12 weeks. The second group (control group) included 20 males no treatment was
given. The subject ages ranged from 22-35 years old, and over weighted with >25 BMI kg/m2
participated in this study. Participants joined sessions for 45-60 min per day, at 55-69% of
(MHR); 3 days per week, duration of the study was 3months from November 2016 to
january2017. Body weight, BMI, waist circumference, hip circumference and waist to hip ratio
were measured pre, during and post the training for both groups. Data was analyzed by using
SPSS statistical package software (version 16.0 for window). Paired sample T test was employed
for pre and posttest difference assessment. After 12 weeks training The obtained results showed
that there was a statistically significant (p<0.05) reduction was observed on Bodyweight, BMI,
Waist circumference, Hip Circumference, Waist hip ratio between pre test and post test .The post
test values of the mean difference was ,BW (3,8%), BMI (3.7%), WC (7.3) HC ( 2.3%) and
WHR(6%) on TG participants . Statistically no significant difference between pre test and post
test result on BW, BMI, WC, HC and WHR among CG participants. Accordingly, it could be
conclude that the aerobic exercise combined with circuit training is effective in body weight
management. In consequences, regular combined mode of exercises can contribute great role for
body weight management
