Effectiveness of functional training and diet intervention on functional movement and physical health of obese male college students / 中国学校卫生

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To reveal the effect of functional training & diet intervention on functional movement screen (FMS) and physical health of obese college male students.@*Methods@#Totally 56 obese college male students were divided into experimental group and control group on average and the experimental group took functional training & diet intervention, 2 times per week, with a total of 15 weeks. The control group was only given routine physical exercise without diet intervention. Indexes including seven FMS indicators, seven body composition indicators and five physical fitness indicators were monitored before and after experiment.@*Results@#The results showed that except for shoulder flexibility, other FMS indexes (vault, hurdle, straight lunge, trunk stability and trunk rotation stability) of experimental group significantly increased after functional training & diet intervention(t=-2.11, -2.27, -2.22, -2.08, -2.21, P<0.05). The total score of FMS increased significantly from 12.07 to 14.06(t=-4.22, P<0.05). The body composition index including fat content, body water, body fat ratio and BMI decreased to 23.97 kg, 38.83 kg, 26.34% and 27.79 kg/m2(t/χ2=-5.85, -8.30, 9.05, 7.23, P<0.05). Protein increased significantly to 19.00 kg(t=-5.75, P<0.05). The comprehensive score of body composition in the experimental group increased significantly from 64.00 to 66.71(t=-6.27, P<0.05). The scores of experimental group physical fitness indicators including 50 m, sit forward, standing long jump, pull up and 1 000 m increased to 8.24 s, 14.45 cm, 206.61 cm, 3.07 and 278.27 s(t=5.05, -3.96, -7.46, -3.62, 4.40, P<0.05).@*Conclusion@#The study indicates that 15 weeks of physical function training & dietary intervention could effectively improve the body shape, body composition and motor dysfunction of obese male college students, thus to reduce sports risk and improve physical health.
