Effects Of Progressive Jogging In The Physical Education Session On The Percentage Of Body Fat And Vo(2)Max In Students With Overweight And Obesity. Pilot Test

The present quasi-experimental and prospective study aimed to determine if 10-minute progressive jogging during the Physical Education session characterized by developing moderate to vigorous activities had an effect on the percentage of body fat and VO2max in overweight and obese students. The population under study was 59 boys (57.63%) and girls (42.37%) organized in control and experimental groups. Among the main results of this research after four months of intervention, we found that girls and boys in the experimental group significantly decreased the percentage of body fat (p. < 005) and that both groups (control and experimental) significantly increased maximum aerobic capacity (p. < 005).
