Abstract

Background: According to the WHO the overweight disorder is defined as the excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. The purpose of this study was to explore the healthy way of prevention and treatment of overweight (the physical activities and professional nutritional advice).

Methods: 15 morphometric and 5 physiological variables were measured on 62 male entities of the Kosovo Albanian population aged 12–56 years, during the period May-Nov/2013. To find out the influence of the programmed exercises on body composition and physiological features of the entity, the measurements have been done three times: initial measurements, transitive measurements, and final measurements. The morpho-physiological variations of entities have been estimated based on the values of body weight, physiological variables, and variables that indicate body composition and daily energetic expenditure. The obtained data were analyzed in terms of basic statistical parameters, whilst the differences between three done measurements on the same group were analyzed by Paired Samples t-test.

Results: The obtained results indicate that following a month-long program of adequate programmed exercises have been achieved significant morpho-functional changes of the body. Except the systolic blood pressure that shows moderate significant change (p<0.05), all other measured morpho-functional variables show high significant changes (p<0.01).

Conclusions: Results of this research indicate the obesity condition as the preventable and curable condition that can be prevented and treated with healthy methods such as physical activities and nutritive advice.
