Effect of improvement of cardiorespiratory fitness by regular exercise training on vascular function in obese adolescents.
ABSTRACT
Vascular endothelial dysfunction and increased arterial stiffness are associated with early atherosclerosis in obese adolescents. High cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is associated with diminished cardiovascular risk factors and improved vascular endothelial function in children. The purpose of the study was to examine effects of the improvement of cardiorespiratory fitness by regular exercise training on vascular function in obese adolescents. Twenty one obese adolescents (Schoolboy, Mean age:13-14 yr) were randomly assigned to an exercise training (ET)(12 weeks, 40 minutes, 5 days/week) group (n=11) and a non exercise control (CON) group (n=10). Cardiorespiratory fitness was measured using maximal oxygen uptake with metabolic gas analysis and body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance. We measured carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and reactive hyperemia index as indices of vascular function. Waist girth was significantly decreased in ET group than in CON group (ET 94.41±6.17 to 92.62±6.13 vs. CON 92.62±7.80 to 94.27±9.23 ㎝, p<.05). Cardiorespiratory fitness was significantly increased in ET group than CON group(ET 32.35±6.49 to 39.24±6.63 vs. CON 34.59±5.47 to 38.36±6.54 ㎖/㎏/min, p<.05). Body mass index and selected CVD risk factors were not improved in ET group. Reactive hyperemia index was significantly increased in ET group (ET 1.60±0.45 to 1.87±0.58 vs. CON 1.73±0.39 to 1.43±0.26%, p=<.05) but carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity did not significantly decrease in ET group (ET 5.77±5.40 to 5.40±0.53 vs. CON 5.12±0.53 to 5.05±0.54 m/s, NS). Change in cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with change in reactive hyperemia index after adjusted for changes in waist (r=.457, p<.037). These results show that regular exercise training improved endothelial function, and this was associated with improved cardiorespiratory fitness independent of changes in body weight in obese adolescents.
Key words: obesity adolescent, vascular endothelial function, arterial stiffness, change in cardiorespiratory fitness
