Abstract

The aim of the present research was to determine the effect of aerobic training on Percentage of Body Fat, total Cholesterol (TC) and High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C) among obese Children. For this purpose, 20 obese Children (age17-25) were selected. The subjects received endurance training only one session in the morning between 6-7 am for three alternate days a week for six weeks. To analyse the collected data,'t'-ratio was used at 0.05 level of confidence. The results showed that there were significant changes in Percentage of Body Fat, TC and HDL-C. It was concluded that the aerobic training is widely believed to induce changes in the lipid profiles and Percentage of Body Fat of Children.
