Resumo
Physical exercise seems to reduce abdominal fat, however new
researches comparing different kind of exercises are needed to define efficient
training programs. The purpose of the study was to compare the effects of the
aerobic training and the resistance training on abdominal fat loss. Participants
were 31 overweight women (mean age 44,5 ± 8,6 years) with high level of
abdominal fat that do not practice regular physical exercise. The training
program of the aerobic group (AG), 19 women, consisted of walking and running
while the resistance group (RG), 12 participants, consisted of weight lifting
exercises. During 10 weeks, participants of both groups (AG and RG) were
required to attend three sessions of physical exercise per week. Body weight,
height, waist circumference (WC), seven skinfold thickness were assessed and
body max index (BMI) and body composition were calculated at baseline and
after the exercise intervention. Reduces in WC, total body fat (%BF) and
abdominal skinfold thickness (AbST) were statistically significant (p < 0.01) in
both groups, despite no significant changes in body weight and BMI. RG
showed a higher reduction in %BF (AG = 2.3%; RG = 3.1%), WC (AG= 1.9%;
RG = 2.5%) and AbST (AG = 6.6%; RG = 6.8%), however there were no
significantly differences between the values of the two training groups. In
conclusion, the results of the study demonstrate that 150 to 210 minutes of
moderate aerobic exercise or progressive resistance training produces
abdominal fat and total body fat losses among overweight and obese women
