Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of endurance training performed with a bicycle ergometer at different ambient temperatures on the amount of fat tissue and fat tissue metabolism in overweight and obese women.

Conditions

Endurance Training

Keywords

Bicycle Ergometer; Overweight; Obese

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• rate of BMI

  assesed with height and body weight

  baseline/ through study completion, an average 3 months

• analysis of biyoelectric impedans Bioelectrical impedance analysis

  assesed with with a Tanita BC 418 brand device.

  baseline/ through study completion, an average 3 months

• Ratio of waist-hip Waist hip ratio

  Waist and hip circumference will be measured with a tape measure.

  baseline/ through study completion, an average 3 months

• rate of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue thickness

  assesed with Ultrasonography

  baseline/ through study completion, an average 3 months

• concentration of serum irisin, adiponectin, apelin and İL-6

  assesed with blood analysis

  baseline/ through study completion, an average 3 months
