Abstract

Background and Aim: Currently, obesity presents itself as a grave concern within the public health sphere, and exercise-induced weight loss is regarded as the most practical, safe, and efficient method to address this issue. MIIT exercise is relatively popular recently. MIIT exercise has moderate intensity, high efficiency, and safety. However, there are few studies on the comparison of the fat reduction effect of different MIIT exercise forms. The objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of these two interventions in terms of fat reduction at the same time and level of exercise.

Materials and Methods: This study will assess the efficacy of the MIIT water exercise program, MIIT land exercise program, INBODY 520, POLAR, and software package as primary tools to measure and analyze body weight, BMI, and body fat percentage. Specifically, the study will focus on 36 obese male college students, who will be randomly assigned to either MIIT water exercise or MIIT land exercise.

Results: After 12 weeks of exercise, the average weight of the MIIT land exercise group decreased by 0.87kg， the MIIT water exercise group decreased by 2.34kg； after 12 weeks of exercise, the mean BMI of the MIIT land exercise group decreased by 0.26， the water exercise group decreased by 0.7; after 12 weeks of exercise, the average body fat percentage of the MIIT land exercise group decreased by 1.5%, the MIIT water exercise group decreased by 3.22%.

Conclusion: MIIT water and land exercise Can help obese male college students to lose fat， but compared with MIIT land exercise, MIIT water exercise has more significant weight changes, BMI, and body fat percentage, at P ＜0.01.
