Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of aerobic training intervention on body components in obese, overweight and normal weight children aged 10-12 years. Methods: quasi experimental pretest / posttest study design was used. The research sample was deliberately chosen from the primary school students of the ninth Kuwait School for Boys for the academic year (2022-2023), whose number is (56) students, with (10) obese children and (23) overweight children And ( 23) normal children. Paired independent t test Analysis was used to test the effect of the intervention between pre- and post-training. Results: The intervention significantly improved body component measurements in children with obesity or overweight when the pre-test and post-test values were compared in the research; BMI (p<0.001); Fat M(kg) (p<0.001); It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in TR Fat M (p<0.001). However, in the data below, he concluded that there was no statistically significant difference between the variables;TBW(L) (p>0.05); PMM(%) (p>0.05); TR FFM (p>0.05); TR PMM (p>0.05). Conclusions: aerobic training made a significant difference in body component indices among children aged 10-12 years with obesity or overweight. Programmed aerobic training interventions can be used to improve some body component indices in obese and overweight children.
