Abstract :
The purpose of study was to determine the effect of intensive periodic interval on cardiovascular risk factors in obese men. This study was a Quasi-experimental design by using pre-test and post-test. 91 participants randomly allocated into two groups and samples were students of Islamic Azad University of Gorgan branch with body mass index classes above 30 kg/m2. Instruments of study included blood collection devices (cotton, alcohol, syringe, test tube) and digital scales and laboratory biochemistry equipment to examine blood. Independent t-test was used to analyze the data. Findings of the study have shown that 6 weeks of intensive periodic interval exercise had no effect on triglyceride levels, total cholesterol and systolic and diastolic blood pressure in obese men. Also, 6 weeks of intensive periodic interval exercise had no effect on high-density lipoprotein in obese men, but in low-density lipoprotein had observed a significant difference. Low-intensity aerobic exercise such as walking has an important role in controlling systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Regular physical activity has effect in increment high-density lipoprotein and also had a protective role in the heart. Also, population with low-density lipoprotein can use intensive exercise with 55% maximum heart rate for 30 minutes in day and 5 days per week to maintain health.
