Abstract:

The purpose of the study was to develop calisthenics exercise program and study its effect on the lipid profile of sedentary individuals. For this study single group pre and posttest method was used for the study in which 40 sedentary male from Khalsa Health Club, Pune, participated and their age ranged between 18-42 years. Samples weight and Height were measured by researcher and assistant for body mass index. Lipid Profile Test - Total Cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HDL-C), Low Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol(LDL-C), Very Low Lipoprotein Cholesterol (VLDL-C) and Triglycerides (TD) these factors were measured in Samarth pathological laboratory, Pune. BMI measurement, samples weight and Height were measured by body scale and then calculated.BMI = wt (kg) / Height(m) 2.Followed with 12 week exercise training program and every week 4 days session.Finally, when the training period of 12 week was over the post test was taken and the data collected and analyzed. After the designed intervention program was applied the post test data was collected and paired sample t-test was used to determine the effect of intervention program on lipid profile level. ANOVA was used to comparison between the four different age groups of the total population. It was found that Total Cholesterol, LDL, Triglyceride and Non HDL decreased and HDL of sedentary subject increased after the calisthenics exercises training program and it were statically as well as numerically significant. This research has determined the effect of calisthenics exercise on lipid profile on male sedentary subjects between ages 18- 42 years old.
