The Efieds of Walking Exercise in High Altitude (Hypobaric Hypoxic Environment) and RunneMnotion-resjwnse-type Training Systems for Weight Reductionin Obese A&ifcs

本研究旨在探讨减压和常压步行运动对肥胖成年人静息代谢率（RMR）和体成分的影响。在12周的步行锻炼中，实验组（EG）的肥胖成年人在低压环境下步行1天，其余2天在常压环境下步行;对照组（CG）的肥胖成年人在常压环境下步行，每周锻炼3天。所有受试者在跑步机上步行60分钟，在低压环境中步行锻炼至少增加了15小时（第二天早上）的总能量消耗。实验组和对照组训练后体重均显著低于训练前。实验组和对照组的体脂含量在训练后均显著降低。EG组训练后RMR显著高于训练前。在EG和CG中，观察到从Hpids获得的能量在训练后增加。在EG中随着RMR增加的体重减轻可能比在CG中单独的常压环境更明显地被诱导持续更长的时间段。这些结果表明，在低压和常压环境中步行运动的结合可能是一种有效的减肥和运动治疗肥胖的方法。

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.
