Abstract

Background:This study examined the differential effects of aerobic and anaerobicexercise on body composition and hormonal adaptations in athletes and non-athletes, providing evidence-based recommendations for optimizing fitness andhealth outcomes, such as training duration, frequency, and the combination ofaerobic and anaerobic exercises.Aim: These specific recommendations aim to enhanceboth physical performance and overall health, tailored to the needs of differentpopulations.Methods: A randomized controlled trialinvolving 120 males(60 athletes,60 non-athletes, aged 18–25 years) was conducted. Participants engaged in 12 weeks ofeither aerobic or anaerobic exercise. The aerobic group performed moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) for 50 minutes persession, 3 times per week,while the anaerobic group performed 30 minutes of resistancetraining followed by 20 minutes of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) 3 times per week. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measured body composition, while blood samplesassessed testosterone, cortisol, and growth hormone levels. Mixed ANOVA analyzedthe effects of exercise type, athletic status, and time.Results: Anaerobic exercise led to significant increases in lean body mass andstrength, while aerobic exercise induced greater fat loss. Athletes exhibited morepronounced increases in testosterone and growth hormone levels, compared tonon-athletes.Conclusions:Tailoredexerciseprograms,consideringfitnesslevelsandgoals,canoptimize body composition and hormonal health. These findings have practicalimplications for designing effective training regimens for diverse populations.

Abstract

Introduction: Understanding the influence of athletic participation on body composition is essential for public health and educational policies promoting active lifestyles among college students. Previous research indicates that athletes typically exhibit approximately 21% lower body fat percentage compared to non-athletes, emphasizing the advantages of regular exercise and proper dietary habits. Aims: To examine the influence of athletic participation on body composition among college students. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study design was adopted to recruit 120 male college volunteers aged 17-24 years. Based on their level of physical activity participation, students were classified as either athletes or non-athletes. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed using Jamovi (version2.5.3) and Gnumeric spreadsheet (version 1.12.50). Results: The study revealed significant differences between collegiate athletes and non-athletes in endomorphy (p<0.001) and % of body fat (p<0.001). Athletes displayed an ectomorphic mesomorph profile (2.87–3.94–3.12), reflecting leaner, muscular physiques due to training. Conversely, non-athletes leaned toward a mesomorphic endomorph profile (4.96–4.27–2.44) with higher body fat. These findings emphasize training's influence on body composition, with percentile rankings offering a framework for customizing athletic programs and morphological assessments. Conclusion: Athletic participation and regular physical activity significantly influence body composition in college students, confirming their role in promoting improved health outcomes and advancing the understanding of diverse physical attributes within this population.
