| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to elucidate the effects of walking exercisein hypobaric and normobaric environmentson the resting metabolic rate (RMR) and the body composition in obese adults. For 3 days per week during 12 weeks ofwalking exercise, an experimental group (EG) of obese adults walked 1 day under a hypobaric environment and the remaining 2 days under a normobaric environment A control group (CG) of obese adults exercised under anormobaric environment for 3 days per week. All the subjects walked for 60minutes on a treadmill Walking exercise in a hypobaricenvironment enhancedtotal energy expenditure at least 15 hours (the following morning). The body weight in EG andCG after the training was significantly lower than that before the training. The composition of body fat in EG and CG decreased significantly after the training. RMR after the training in EG was significantly higher than that before the training. Energy obtained from Hpids in EG and CG was observed to have increased after the training. The body weight reduction with the increase in RMR in EG may be more clearly induced to continue over a longer period of time than the normobaric environment alone hi CG. These results indicate that the combination of walking exercise hi hypobaric and normobaric environments may be a useful method for body weight reduction and exercise treatment for obesity.
