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

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated adverse effects on the physical and mental health of young to middle-aged housewives residing in diverse rural and urban environments. Despite the widespread repercussions, there exists a paucity of research focused on elucidating the post-COVID health status of this specific demographic and the potential therapeutic merits associated with the integration of yogic practices into their daily lives. Objective: This study aims to scrutinize the post-Covid health status of young to middle-aged housewives and explore the potential advantages of integrating yogic practices within their routines. Methods: The study included sixty young to middle-aged housewives, thirty from rural and 30 from urban areas and categorised as rural controlled (n=15), rural experimental (n=15), urban controlled (n=15) and urban experimental (n=15).Both the experimental groups followed twelve weeks yogic practice protocol based on the Ministry of AYUSH's Common Yoga protocol. Results: Urban housewives exhibited a higher body mass index and a higher percentage of body fat. The yogic intervention had a significant effect on BMI (p = 0.02), muscular endurance (p = 0.002), and flexibility (p = 0.001) among rural young to middle-aged housewives. However, only improvement in flexibility (p = 0.0005) has been observed in urban young to middle-aged housewives. These outcomes highlight the potential positive impact of twelve-week yogic intervention in improving selected physical parameters of young to middle-aged housewives. Conclusion: The findings of the study emphasize the importance of yogic practice, into post-pandemic recovery efforts to promote optimal health and resilience in diverse populations. Further research is warranted to explore the long-term effects and sustainability of such interventions on overall health outcomes.
