The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of regular physical activity education program on serum blood lipids, testosterone and growth hormone in obese elementary school male students. 40 elementary school male students were randomly assigned to either an exercise program group (EPG, n=20) or to a no exercise control group (CG, n=20). The exercise intensity of physical activity program (50~80% HRR Polar), the frequency (3 times per week, 50 minutes per session) was performed for 12 weeks has been conducted once a week. The variables of body composition, serum blood lipids, testosterone and growth hormone were measured in all the participants before and after the 12-weeks study. Total cholesterol, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in time group has been significantly difference (p<0.01, p<0.05, p<0.01). High-density lipoprotein cholesterol in time and time group has been significantly difference (p<0.05, p<0.01). Growth hormone in group has been significantly difference (p<0.05). Our findings indicate that regular physical activity education program improve serum blood lipids, testosterone, growth hormone in obese elementary school male students. Also, it can be an effective means for prevention and treatment of obese children by taking regular after-school physical education programs at the school.
Bo Sung Kim, from South Korea has studied in rehabilitation and exercise prescription since undergrad. Kim is a second-year master's degree student in exercise physiology from Pusan National University in South Korea. He works in an exercise physiology laboratory. He is currently interested in studying impact for prevention and treatment of obese children by taking regular physical activity.
