Tabata运动训练对学龄期超重肥胖青少年的影响

Objective To investigate the effects of Tabata exercise training on skeletal muscle index(SMI), body mass index(BMI), and waist to hip ratio(WHR) in overweight and obese school-age adolescents. Methods A total of 70 overweight and obese school-age children and adolescent who visited hospitals between March 2024 and March 2025 were collected, and they were divided into the experimental group and the control group according to the random number table method, with 35 cases in each group. The control group received routine exercise and health guidance, while the experimental group received Tabata exercise training on the basis of control group, both for an intervention period of 8 weeks. Measure and compare the weight of the two groups before and after intervention BMI, WHR, skeletal muscle mass(SMM), SMI, diastolic blood pressure(DBP), and systolic blood pressure(SBP). Results After the intervention, the weight, BMI, and WHR of the experimental group were significantly reduced, and were significantly lower than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). After intervention, both SMM and SMI in the experimental group were significantly increased compared with those to before intervention, while DBP and SBP in the experimental group were significantly reduced(P<0.05), Moreover, SMI in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and SBP was significantly lower than that in the control group. The differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). The SMM and SMI of the experimental group were significantly negatively correlated with body weight, BMI, and WHR(P<0.05). Conclusion Tabata exercise training can reduce BMI and WHR in overweight and obese school-age children and adolescents, improve SMI, and is an efficient exercise training method.
