Cardiorespiratory exercise and health risk factor have already been shown to have a positive correlation. The addition of resistance training to an exercise program can promote further health benefits for children living an obese lifestyle. Multiple studies have been conducted in order to understand the effects of resistance training on obesity. A study performed by Melissa Sgro et al. took a total of 31 children (7-12 years old) whom participated in the resistance exercise program. Participants were randomly assigned into 1 of 3 groups, which consisted of an 8 week group 16 a 24 week group. Before participants started the resistance program height, weight, body mass, bone mineral content were measure. Body composition was analyzed with the

completed a study which included 15 obese children (ages 7-12 years) participating in the one year program. Before engaging in any form of exercise medical history and physical examination was done. Individual ideal body weight was measured, and subjects were classified under 3 categories: obese, moderate obese, and severely obese. A weekly height and weight measurements were obtained, and body mass index (BMI) was then calculated. The program was described to be a moderate intensity progressive program which included aerobic, muscular endurance, and muscular strength. This study took a unique approach by assigning the participants a 30-45 minutes home based instructional video. Unlike previous studies which required to the participants to attend the program at a certain location. During the home video participants would demanded to be at approximately 45-55% volume of oxygen consumption. In order to get track progress, efficacy measurements were done at the tenth week and 1 year. A that the end of the program, a significant decrease in BMI was measure, have a p value of .0001. Although the significant decrease in BMI, may have been caused a statistically significant increase in height. A relative body fat decrease from 42.6 plus or minus 7.2% to 32.6 plus or minus 7% at 10 weeks, and was followed by a measurement of 31.0 plus or minus 8.5% at 1 year. As seen in the Melissa Sgro study, there was a significant increase in lean body mass …show more content…
AC Benson program factored in a high intensity program rather than a moderate intensity. The primary goal of this program was specific as well, as it was meant to reduce central adiposity levels. Participants were the ages of 7-10 years old, with no physical injury or medical problem, and to the qualifying participants a written consent was given. Double blinded method (neither participants nor the researcher know the results) was used for the baseline testing, and during post-exercise. Blood sample were collected after fasting, to measure accurate levels of Low density lipoprotein, High density lipoprotein, insulin, glucose, and total cholesterol level. The exercise program required the participants to exercise 2 times per week for a length of 8 weeks. The workout itself consisted of 5 upper body exercises and 4 upper body exercises. A Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) ranging from 6-20, was used as an intensity check to maintain the high intensity level exercise. When post measurements were conducted, this study used the single blinded method, which only allowed the researchers to see the results. Waist circumference was significantly reduced, which was an indication of reduced central adiposity level. High density level increased by a percentage of 8.3, while triglyceride levels decreased by
