Effects on Fat Mass Through 2 Types of Training

Abstract

The purpose of this study is that of comparing the effects of aquatic training to the effects of land training, to decrease the fat mass. 24 male students from the UPIT Physical Education and Sport Departament were subjects of the study. The subjects do not practice any performance sport except the loisir sport or the sport exercises from during the faculty hours. The same trainings and testing facilities and methods have been used for each evaluation and each lesson. Each training lasted for 45-70 minutes, 3 days per week. To establish fat mass, we used BIA (bioelectrical impedance analysis) principle. A significant difference of 2.72 has been registered (pre=18.2 and post=15.47) between the two groups with regards to the fat tissue established after the water training programs had ended.
