Brief Summary

Resistance training is a common way of daily exercise which has a remarkable function in healthcare. It has been used in many diseases as a complementary method. Overweight and obesity are the sixth highest risk of death worldwide. In recent years, the data show that the rate of overweight obese among college students shows a significant increasing trend. The common characteristics of overweight and obese people are strong appetite which is difficult to be controled and sedentary. resistance training is a solid supplement to physical education and how to reduce appetite of overweight and obese college female students through resistance training is the key to increase their health by university sport course. The training plan divides the training intensity into three levels including 45-50% one repetition maximum(1RM), 60-65% 1RM, 45-50% 1RM, respectively plus control group. Therefore, this experimental research examines the effectiveness and the differences of three Intensities resistance training on energy intake and appetite regulation among overweight and obese college girl. Finally, to evaluate whether the resistance training can reduce the overweight and obese female college students' energy intake and appetite regulation

  • Change from baseline hunger at 6 weeks and 12 weeks.

    This parameter will be test by 100-mm visual analogue scale (VAS): test at 6:00-8:00 am following a 10h overnight fast, rate perceive appetite firstly. Then provide with a standardised caloric stimulus, at 30, 60, 90 and 120min post consumption rate perceived appetite again (r = 0.42 - 0.85). At every time point, both lengths of VAS 100 mm were used to record desire to eat, hunger, fullness, and prospective food consumption. The four standardized questions were: (i) how strong is your desire to eat? ("very weak" to "very strong"), (ii) how hungry do you feel? ("not hungry at all" to "as hungry as I've ever felt"), (iii) how full do you feel? ("not full at all" to "very full"), and (iv) how much food do you think you can eat?

  • Change from baseline physical activity level at 6 weeks and 12 weeks.

    This parameter measured by Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). The GPAQ covers several components of physical activity, such as intensity, duration, and frequency, and it assesses three domains in which physical activity is performed (occupational physical activity, transport-related physical activity, and physical activity during discretionary or leisure time) comprising 16 questions (P1-P16). Since it was developed by World Health Organization (WHO) in 2002, the GPAQ has undergone a research program which shows that it is valid and reliable. It has become the most common tool in diagnostic and evaluation studies of physical activity globally.

Study Arms (4)

High intensity of resistance training

EXPERIMENTAL

The intensity of 75-80% 1RM is used for high intensity resistance training group. The number of repetitions of each set is relatively few, only 6-8 times. The rest time between sets is relatively long, 2-3 minutes, so that the participants can better adapt to this intensity. chest press, lat pull down, shoulder press and square, which are all trained through the multi-functional Smith machine. Bicep curl and triceps extension are operated by purchasing dumbbells with different weights. Leg extension and Leg curl use leg extension and curl machine Abdominal crunches and lower back exercises just do it by body weight training in yoga mat with abdominal curl and Lower back bridge

Device: resistance training

Moderate intensity of resistance training

EXPERIMENTAL

The intensity of 60-65% 1RM is used for moderate intensity resistance training group. The repetition times of each set are relatively moderate, 10-12 times. The rest time between sets is relatively moderate, 1-2 minutes. The relative exercise volume of this group was consistent with that of other experimental groups chest press, lat pull down, shoulder press and square, which are all trained through the multi-functional Smith machine. Bicep curl and triceps extension are operated by purchasing dumbbells with different weights. Leg extension and Leg curl use leg extension and curl machine Abdominal crunches and lower back exercises just do it by body weight training in yoga mat with abdominal curl and Lower back bridge

Device: resistance training

Low intensity of resistance training

EXPERIMENTAL

The intensity of 40-45% 1RM is used for low intensity resistance training group. The repetition times of each set are relatively more, 16-18 times. The rest time between groups is short, only about 1 minute, so that the participants can still maintain sufficient total exercise load under low intensity. chest press, lat pull down, shoulder press and square, which are all trained through the multi-functional Smith machine. Bicep curl and triceps extension are operated by purchasing dumbbells with different weights. Leg extension and Leg curl use leg extension and curl machine Abdominal crunches and lower back exercises just do it by body weight training in yoga mat with abdominal curl and Lower back bridge
