Health Education Kinesiology Nutrition Physical Education Physiology Anatomy and Physiology Health Exercise in women an online exercise program resistance training aerobic training exercise during COVID-19 combined aerobic and resistance training It is well-established that exercise plays a vital role in promoting a healthy lifestyle. The use of training programs incorporating aerobic and resistance training has become a common routine to achieve the benefits of good health. The main objective of this study was to determine the impact a virtual combined (aerobic and resistance) training program has on physical performance metrics and anthropometrics in females aged 20-29. We hypothesized that the use of a combined aerobic and resistance training program would lead to improvements in physical performance metrics and anthropometric measurements alike. This exercise intervention was a combined program consisting of both aerobic and resistance training exercises in accordance with the most recent American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) physical activity guidelines. Ten participants completed the study (n=10) (Age: 22.7 ± 2.63 years, height: 166.2 ± 8.2 cm, weight: 77.75 ± 12.3 kg, BMI:28.6 ± 4.67). Eligibility requirements stated participants needed to be considered inactive prior to program start, achieving less than 120 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week. This study utilized an individualized 4-week long training program which saw the application of both aerobic training and resistance training within each session, 3 times per week for a total of 45-50 minutes per session. The main exercise tests examined included: chair sit-to-stand, bench step-up, modified pushups, 12-minute walk test, and the sit-and-reach flexibility test, along with body mass index (BMI) and waist to hip ratio (WHR). The resulting data was examined via two-tailed paired-samples t-tests. This study demonstrated significant differences observed in physical performance exercises including increased chair-sit-stand (p=0.001), increased step-up test (p=0.01), and increased modified push-ups (p=0.01). There were no significant differences post-intervention between several of the physical metrics, i.e., anthropometrics, such as weight (p=0.70), BMI (p=0.38), and WHR (p=0.19). There were also no significant differences with two of the exercise tests, including sit-and-reach (p=0.54) and 12 min walk (p=0.33). This study is one of a few looking at the impact virtual-based combined exercise programs have on an understudied female population. This study may act as a pilot moving forward with virtual exercise programs' effectiveness, as there is little surrounding literature. Due to the several benefits and observed efficacy of this program, it is recommended to the sedentary population as an effective means to achieving a safer and healthier lifestyle. 2021-05-04 English text Ohio Dominican University Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=oduhonors162006390693786 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=oduhonors162006390693786 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: some rights reserved.
