Abstract Background and purpose: Obesity can be described as the ”New World Syndrome”. Its prevalence is on continuous rise in all age groups of many of the developed countries in the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of resistive exercise versus aerobic exercise on superoxide-dismutase enzyme (SOD) in adult obese participants. The study was conducted for 2 months, 3 sessions per week. Subjects and Methodology: 40 obese participants of both sexes their age ranged from 40 to 50 years were enrolled in study for 8 weeks. They were assigned into two groups equally in numbers: group (A): received resistive exercise with diet regime. group (B): received aerobic exercise with diet regime. SOD enzyme and body weight were measured before and after treatment. Results: For group (A) there was a significant increase in SOD enzyme after treatment (t =47.21) and (P=0.0001). For group (B) there was a significant increase in SOD enzyme after treatment (t = 15.91) and (P=0.0001). There was a significant difference in the post treatment value between both groups in favor of group (A) (t = 45.89, P = 0.0001) |
