Several studies have extensively documented the benefits of moderate intensity physical training for reducing the risk of cardiovascular death in the management of overweight and obesity. However, the benefits of vigorous intensity training are small.
To examine sex differences in the relationship between vigorous vs. moderate intensity exercise and risk markers for overweight and obesity in healthy adults.
A cross-sectional, descriptive study in 304 healthy subjects (n=218 men, n=86 women). The short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) was used to stratify exercise intensity into two categories, moderate and vigorous. Body mass index (BMI) and percent body fat (%BF) were calculated, and waist circumference (WC) was measured as risk markers of overweight and obesity.
No significant differences were found in risk markers of overweight and obesity in the male group depending on exercise intensityh. As compared to women training at moderate intensity, those making vigorous exercise had lower BMI (25.7±3.0 kg/m(2) vs.22.5±1.7 kg/m(2)), WC (79.2±6.8 cm vs. 76.0±3.1 cm), and BF (33.5±2.6% vs. 28.1±5.3%) levels (P<0.05 for all).
Vigorous intensity training is associated with lower values of markers of overweight and obesity in women, but not in men.
多项研究广泛记录了中等强度体育锻炼在超重和肥胖管理中降低心血管死亡风险的益处。然而，高强度锻炼的益处较小。
研究健康成年人中高强度与中等强度运动和超重及肥胖风险标志物之间关系的性别差异。
对304名健康受试者（218名男性，86名女性）进行横断面描述性研究。使用国际体力活动问卷简版（IPAQ）将运动强度分为中等强度和高强度两类。计算体重指数（BMI）和体脂百分比（%BF），并测量腰围（WC）作为超重和肥胖的风险标志物。
在男性组中，根据运动强度，超重和肥胖的风险标志物未发现显著差异。与中等强度训练的女性相比，进行高强度运动的女性BMI（25.7±3.0kg/m²对22.5±1.7kg/m²）、WC（79.2±6.8cm对76.0±3.1cm）和BF（33.5±2.6%对28.1±5.3%）水平更低（均P<0.05）。
高强度训练与女性较低的超重和肥胖标志物值相关，但与男性无关。
