Although the greatest influence of this advanced technology boom has been registered in cities of south and north India, many emerging urban and suburban area also have experienced the effect of increased mechanisation. Obesity has been thought to be caused by basic hormonal imbalance resulting from failure of one or more of the endocrine glands to property regulated body weight. To achieve this purpose forty-five (N=45) obese men (BMI 30±1 Kg/m2 In - Body 200) from total population of (obese volunteers) 173 were selected at random as subjects. Their mean age height and weight were 43 ± 2.7 years, 168 ± 6cm and 81 ± 3.7 kg respectively. Further they were divided into three equal groups (n=15). Group I and II underwent low intensity (40 RPM) and high intensity (60 RPM) aerobic exercise (cycle ergometer) for 45 to 60 days/day/5days/week/16 week respectively and group III acted as control. The blood samples were collected and adiponectin (Microgram (µg/ml) was estimated by biosource EASIA reader and ELISAAIDTM software before and after the experiment period. The data were analysed by ANCOVA and scheffe‘s post hoc test P≤0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. Both high and low intensity aerobic exercise increases the adiponectin level than the control. Between the exercises high intensity shows better effect on the increases of adiponectin level of middle aged obese men. | | Keywords : | | |
