EFFECT OF PHYSICAL EXERCISE TRAINING TO IMPROVE PHYSICAL FITNESS IN OVERWEIGHT MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN

Kudrat Singh, Gurjit Kaur Bhatti

Abstract


Middle aged females are the main culprits who suffer with obesity, may be, due to hormonal imbalance due to menopausal stage. Obesity is a
complication which is actually reason behind other pathophysiological conditions. Hypertension, dyslipidaemia, CHD, type 2 diabetes, and sleep
apnea, gynaecological abnormalities in females, osteoarthritis gall bladder stone are some of them. Although physical exercise could be main
component for the weight loss therapy but helpful in achieving the improvement in cardiovascular function, muscle strength. Physical exercises of
varied intensities with controlled diet can lead to multiple positive impacts on health. Intense physical exercise resulted in increase the
carbohydrate and fat oxidation.
