This study aims to investigate how varying frequencies of exercise affect working capacity, cardiovascular function, and body composition in adult men.
Nineteen men aged 28-39 were randomly assigned to exercise groups (2 or 4 days/week for 20 weeks)
Each exercise session lasted 30 minutes, including walking, jogging, or running
A control group of 8 sedentary men was also monitored for comparison.
Both exercise groups showed significant improvements in maximal VO2 (up to 35%) and heart rate efficiency measures
Group II had significant reductions in body weight (-2.9 kg) and body fat (-1.0%)
Group I maintained body composition, indicating that increased training frequency improved body composition outcomes.
