abstract = {Cardiovascular diseases are considered as one
of threats to human health, especially in individuals with
overweight. The aim of this study was to investigate the
effects of eight-week Aerobic exercises on lipid profile in
10-12 years old overweight girls. In this study 27
overweight 10-12 year old female students were selected
and randomly divided into two groups; a) training group
(n = 17) and b) control group (n = 10). Training group
were participated into the Aerobic training for 8 weeks, at
the intensity of 70-85% of maximal heart rate, meeting 3
times a week that lasted 60 min per session. The
variables included TG, TC, LDL-C, VLDL-C, HDL-C
and TC/HDL-C ratio were measured in two groups before
and after the training period. Co variance and T-test were
utilized to analyze the data. The findings showed that
after eight weeks of training, the average variables such
as BF (p = 0.00), BMI (p = 0.00) and VO2max (p = 0.00)
has significantly changed compared with before the
training while there was no significant change in the value
of WHR (p = 0.066). There was also a significant change
in the variables BF (p = 0.001) and VO2max (p = 0.024)
between experimental and control group after eight weeks
of training. However, a significant difference was not
observed in the variables WHR (p = 0.83) and BMI
(p = 0.64). According to these results, Aerobic exercise in
overweight 10-12 year old girls can have beneficial
effects on some cardiovascular risk factors.}
