Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 8 weeks aerobic training on appetite, caloric intake and nutritional behavior in sedentary overweight women. For this, 30 overweight students were selected and randomly divided: training (age: 22.73±3.67; height: 165.5±6.65; weight: 74.48±10.03; BMI: 27.5±2.47) and control (age: 22.91±2.51; height: 163.73±3.55; weight: 74.83±8.15; BMI: 28.20±2.75). Before the start of practice period, and 48-hr after their last exercise session subjects completed the nutritional behavior, food frequency and appetite questionnaires and also their anthropometric characteristics were measured. The Training group participate in 8 weeks moderate intensity aerobic training while the control group continued their normal daily activities. Statistical analysis of results with paired and independent t test showed that calorie intake, fat and carbohydrate consumption were significantly decreased in training group (p<0.05); while differences in calorie intake changes between groups was not significant (p>0.05). Results did not show any significant differences in appetite between groups (p>0.05). The results of this study showed that, although 8 weeks moderate intensity aerobic training led to decrease in calorie intake, fat and carbohydrate consumption but these changes were not significant. Possibly, offering nutritional education and program along with exercise program can lead to more effective results.
