Abstract :
Background and aim: One of the most important consequences and complications of obesity is the threat to mental health and eating disorders. On the other hand, exercise training is considered as an effective method in mental health promotion and eating disorders amelioration, but the effect of total body resistance exercise (TRX) on mental health and eating disorders in obese adolescents is not yet clear. Therefore, the aim of the percent study was to investigate the effect of TRX training on mental health and eating disorder attitudes in obese adolescents.
Methods: 20 obese teenagers, 15-17 years old, participated in this study. Subjects randomly distributed into two control and training groups. The training group performed TRX exercises for 6 weeks. The control group has no any more activity during this time. Before and after TRX training, both groups answered the mental health and the eating disorder attitude questionnaires.
Results: Mental health subscales were lower in the trained group compared to the control group. Also, the eating disorder subscales before and after the TRX training were not different between groups.
Conclusion: In general, it can be stated that TRX training is an effective training method in mental health promotion in obese adolescent, but this training method, despite the tendency to decrease, had no effect on the nutritional disorders in obese teenagers. It is suggested that this type of exercise should be implemented in schools in order to reduce the prevalence of obesity, as well as public health promotion.
