The Effect of Super Set Weight Training Model and a High-Protein Diet on Body Fat Level Changes in Overweight and Obese Adult Men

摘要

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of super set weight training model and high protein diet on the changes in body fat levels for overweight and obese adult men. The method used in this study was true experimental design with the randomized subject control group pretest-posttest design. The subjects in this study were 30 overweight and obese adult male VIP Fitness Center members. Random sampling was used to determine 15 people to be included in the experimental group and 15 people to be included in the control group. The instrument used to measure the body fat percentage was Tanita. The data obtained were statistically analyzed by using the Paired Sample t-test and Independent Sample t-test analysis techniques with the significance α <0.05 based on data analysis. Both groups obtained significance of 0.00. Since the significant value was smaller than 0.05, then H0 was rejected. Therefore, at a 95% confidence level, it can be concluded that both groups experienced a decrease in body fat percentage, but the experimental group experienced a greater decrease in body fat percentage. Overweight and obese adult men who want to reduce their body fat percentage can apply weight training only. However, to get better results, they can apply the super set weight training model combined with a high protein diet.
