Effects of Some Physical Exercises with a Diet using artificial intelligence on Some Morphological Variables Related to Health in Obese Persons

Abstract

The current research aims to identify the effects of physical exercises accompanied by a diet on some health-related body morphology variables and weight loss among obese persons. The researcher used the experimental approach (one-group design) with pre- and post-measurements. The researcher purposefully chose (16) obese persons, (12) of them were recruited as a main sample while (4) were recruited as a pilot sample. Results indicated that:

1. The recommended exercise program with diet had positive effects on health-related physical fitness variables (speed – endurance – agility – power – strength – cardiorespiratory strength) among obese persons.


2. The recommended exercise program with diet had positive effects on weight reduction variables (body weight – BMI – Fat percentage) among obese persons.


3. Exercise with diet helped decrease weight among obese persons.


4. There are statistically significant differences between the pre-and post-measurements of health-related physical fitness variables (among obese persons in favor of post-measurements.


5. There are statistically significant differences between the pre-and post-measurements of weight decrease among obese persons in favor of post-measurements.
