The Effect of a Training Program Combined with a Dietary Regimen on Reducing Obesity among Men Aged 18–48 Years

Abstract

The significance of this study stems from its focus on identifying the phenomenon of overweight and obesity, along with the associated health, social, and psychological burdens imposed on individuals. Moreover, it highlights the critical role of adherence to regular physical activity and healthy dietary habits in preventing and treating obesity.

Research Objectives

  1-To design a scientifically structured training and nutritional program aimed at regulating body weight and addressing obesity.

  2-To examine the impact of the proposed training and nutritional program on the percentage of body fat (obesity rate).

Methodology

The researchers employed the experimental approach using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The study sample consisted of ten (10) trainees. The designed training and nutritional programs were initially applied to a pilot sample to ensure the validity and feasibility of the procedures, and subsequently implemented on the main research sample. Following the intervention, the researchers analyzed and discussed the obtained data, which led to several key findings.

Findings

  The training and nutritional programs demonstrated a statistically significant effect in reducing body fat percentage (obesity level) among the participants in the research sample.

Recommendations

 1-The researchers recommend that professionals working in the field of obesity management adopt the proposed training and nutritional program due to its proven effectiveness.

2-It is essential to enhance public awareness regarding health and nutrition among both obese and non-obese individuals as a preventive measure against obesity.

  3-Authorities and health organizations should organize continuous awareness campaigns, seminars, and educational initiatives through social media platforms to emphasize the dangers of obesity and the importance of regular physical activity in its prevention

4- Relevant institutions are encouraged to establish public sports facilities that provide accessible spaces for individuals to practice physical activities, thereby reducing the risk of various diseases and improving mental well-being

1. Researchers in the fields of sports training science and exercise physiology are urged to give further attention to the issue of obesity by conducting more empirical studies to identify the physiological and behavioral factors associated with it, whether positively or negatively.
