The effects of 3 months fitness applications on anthropometric parameters of sedantry

The effects of 3-months fitness exercise on the body compositions parameters of sedentary people were studied in the present study. 3 months cardio based exercises (45/60 min: 10 min warming up+stretching, 25 min running, 15 min bicycle, 10 min cross, 7 min cooling down+stretching) were applied to 299 sedentary people (206 men, 93 women) at the Life Gym Sport and Health Center in İstanbul-Turkey. The parameters related to body composition were measured by using bioelectrical impedance method for three times during three months. The medicinal background, readiness to physical activity and participation to physical activity of the individuals were monitored during three months. The data were evaluated based on the gender and age. For statistical evaluation, descriptive statistics and repeated measures ANOVA were used. We found the positive contributions of 3 months fitness exercise on the body composition parameters of sedentary people. The most remarkable changes were observed in men. The most observable changes were determined in both gender at age between 25 and 44. However, the lowest effect was found at the group of 45-64 age. In conclusion, we confirm the positive effects of regular physical activities at all age groups and both gender. Keywords:, Physical Activity, Body Composition, Sedentary
