Abstract

The aim of this study is the effect of alternative and continuous aerobic training on inflammatory index, predictor of cardiovascular disease, and correlation of Hs-CRP with body fat percentage in non athlete boys. In this study statistical population is all of the non athlete boys 15-18 years old. statistical sample is 45 subjects with Mean age, height, weight, and BMI inorderis(16.21±0.88year,172.72±5.18cm,68.67±12.07kg,1.65±3.99kg/m2)that Samples were divided into three groups randomly simple that each group involved 15subjects.The first group was alternative aerobic training group , second group, continuous aerobic training group and third group, control group. Training protocol included eight-week and every week was performed three sessions alternative and continuous aerobic training in intensity of 60-75percent maximum heartbeat during an hour. Regarding the overload, Three minutes was added into training hour. For assessing the difference Hs-CRP levels and body fat percentage levels before and after training in groups was used t student test. ANOVA statistical method was used to compare Hs-CRP levels and body fat percentage levels among three groups. for assessing inter variation tukey test(p<0.05)was used and for assessing relations between variables was used Pearson correlation. The results showed that There weren´t significant difference in Hs-CRP levels before and after training. There were Significant difference between body fat percentage levels before and after training in alternative and continuous aerobic training groups(p≤0.001).There weren´t any significant difference between Hs-CRP levels in alternative and continuous aerobic training .In assessing correlation HS-CRP and body fat percentage there weren´t any significant difference between them before training .But there were significant correlation between them after training just in continuous aerobic training . Regarding results, continuous aerobic training is more suitable than alternative aerobic training for cardiovascular health in young people
