| Abstract (English): |
Introduction: Obesity in adolescents increases the risk of chronic diseases. Studies have shown that increasing physical activity improves metabolic health. However, there is a divergence regarding the effectiveness of different types of physical activity programs in adolescents. Objective: To determine the effects of two physical activity programs on early adolescents with obesity, and to compare their benefits on body composition and metabolic markers. Methodology: 35 adolescents diagnosed with obesity from a public school were selected and randomized in two groups. The HIIT group (n = 18) performed 1 min of intense exercise at 80-100 % of the maximum heart rate (HRmax) and rested 2 for a min, repeating this cycle 10 times; the MICT group (n = 17) performed 30 min of continuous exercise at 55-69% of HRmax. Both exercise programs were performed on a static bike, 3 times per week, for 12 weeks. All the participants had nutritional counseling weekly. Results: We detected a statistically significant increase in the lean mass (p = 0.008 and p = 0.002) and a decrease in triglyceride levels (p = 0.080 and p <0.001), for the MICT and the HIIT groups, respectively. Conclusion: Both exercise programs in conjunction with nutritional counseling, lead to a significant increase in lean mass and a decrease in triglyceride levels. MICT had a greater impact in decreasing fat mass, and both had a similar impact in reducing triglycerides levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |

Introducción: La obesidad en adolescentes aumenta el riesgo de enfermedades crónicas. Estudios han demostrado que aumentar la actividad física mejora la salud metabólica. Sin embargo, existe divergencia sobre la efectividad de los distintos tipos de programas de actividad física en adolescentes. Objetivo: Determinar los efectos de dos programas de actividad física en adolescentes con obesidad, y comparar sus beneficios sobre la composición corporal y los marcadores metabólicos. Metodología: Se seleccionaron, de un colegio público, 35 adolescentes diagnosticados con obesidad. Los participantes se dividieron en dos grupos. El grupo HIIT (n = 18) realizó 1 min de ejercicio intenso al 80-100 % de la frecuencia cardiaca máxima (FC máx.) y descansó durante 2 min, repitiendo este ciclo 10 veces; el grupo MICT (n = 17) realizó 30 minutos de ejercicio continuo al 55-69 % de la FC máx. Ambos programas de ejercicio se realizaron en una bicicleta estática, 3 veces por semana, durante 12 semanas. Todos los participantes recibieron asesoramiento nutricional semanal. Resultados: Se detectó un aumento estadísticamente significativo de la masa magra (p = 0.008 y p = 0.002) y una disminución de los niveles de triglicéridos (p = 0.080 y p <0.001), para los grupos MICT y HIIT, respectivamente. Conclusión: Ambos programas de ejercicio, junto con el asesoramiento nutricional, produjeron un aumento significativo de la masa magra y un descenso de los niveles de triglicéridos. MICT tuvo un mayor impacto en la disminución de la masa grasa, y ambos programas de ejercicio tuvieron un impacto similar en la reducción de los niveles de triglicéridos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
