Summary:
In obese female college students, a “five-in-one” comprehensive intervention program significantly improved physical exercise attitudes, functional and aerobic capacity, and reduced weight and body fat compared to a standard three-component intervention of diet control, high-intensity interval training, and behavioral therapy, though it was associated with no reported adverse effects.
| PICO | Description |
|---|---|
| Population | 46 obese female college students (body fat ratio ≥30%) from Chongqing Water Resources and Electric Engineering College. |
| Intervention | “Five-in-one” comprehensive intervention: dietary control, HIIT, behavioral therapy, plus functional movement correction and breathing training over a 12-week period with one-year follow-up. |
| Comparison | General intervention group receiving only dietary control, high-intensity interval training, and behavioral therapy. |
| Outcome | At 12 weeks (T1), the comprehensive group showed higher BOLT (22.68±5.95 vs. 17.47±5.01), FMS (17.06±2.82 vs. 15.08±3.31), and exercise attitude scores (230.69±19.73 vs. 212.88±18.04) compared to controls (P<0.01). At one year (T2), improvements persisted, and weight, BMI and BFR were significantly lower in the comprehensive group (e.g., BFR: 33.43±4.4 vs. 36.35±2.55, P<0.01). |
