Abstract

Depending on the type of exercise, different activities will have different effects on pro-inflammatory cytokine levels in overweight and obese people. The health of both men and women has improved because of a number of moderate-intensity aerobic activities, which also resulted in decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This aquarobics high intensity interval training is one of the physical exercises that has an impact on the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal system of the human body. Cardio exercise, also referred to as aerobic exercise, is one of the activities that provide wellness for body health. These are also frequently used to measure the effectiveness of a workout combined with aerobic activity. The design using a randomized experimental pre– post-test control group involved a study of 24 obese females aged 40 to 50 (BMI > 30 kg/m2) who were divided into two groups: aquarobics high-intensity training for eight weeks (n = 12); and a control group (n = 12). The subjects completed a questionnaire that asked for their age, last menstrual period, and menopausal status. All participants were made aware of the potential risks and read the study procedures before signing the informed consent form. The improvement in body health was further supported by changes in total cholesterol levels and body fitness levels before and after eight weeks of exercise. We observed a pattern that aquarobics highintensity interval training had a favorable cellular signaling effect with a decrease in the level of IL-6, which is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that characterizes the detection of health disorders in the body, resulting in chronic inflammation, infectious diseases, and autoimmune diseases. © 2022, Editura Universitatii din Pitesti.
