Key result
A 16-week aerobic exercise program significantly reduced serum leptin levels and improved cardiac autonomic function (increased SDNN and HF, decreased LF/HF; P<0.05) in obese girls.
Why the study?
The study was conducted to examine the effects of 16 weeks of aerobic exercise on serum leptin levels and heart rate variability in obese girl children, as well as their correlations.

p-value: p=<0.05
A 16-week aerobic exercise program improves cardiac autonomic function and reduces serum leptin levels in obese female children.
Li et al. (2022) conducted an RCT in Obesity (n=36). Aerobic exercise vs. No regular physical training was evaluated on Serum leptin level and heart rate variability (p=<0.05). A 16-week aerobic exercise program significantly reduced serum leptin levels and improved cardiac autonomic function (increased SDNN and HF, decreased LF/HF; P<0.05) in obese girls.
