The Ability of Aerobic Exercise with Exercise Motivation To Reduce Body Fat
Keywords:
Aerobic, Exercise, Motivation, Body FatAbstract
Being overweight and obese has developed into a significant public health problem worldwide. Obesity is a major risk factor for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other diseases. Therefore, effective weight management strategies are urgently needed. Aerobic exercise is considered effective for lowering body fat percentage and improving overall health. However, further research is needed on the role of exercise motivation in improving aerobic exercise results. The study involved adult participants aged 18 to 50 years with varying levels of fitness, and used a factorial experimental design to investigate how exercise motivation and various models of aerobic exercise impacted the reduction of body fat percentage. Over the course of twelve weeks, participants were divided into groups based on a model of low, moderate, and high-intensity aerobic exercise. The results showed that the combination of the aerobic exercise model and the motivation level of the participants had a great influence on the reduction of body fat. Participants who did high-intensity aerobic exercise and had low levels of motivation experienced only a 0.5% reduction in body fat. The findings of this study emphasize how important it is to create an environment that supports and motivates people to actively participate in exercise programs to achieve their health and fitness goals. The study also provides important insights for fitness trainers and healthcare professionals in building more targeted and efficient weight loss programs.
