Aerobic Exercise and Body Composition in Overweight and Obese Boys.

Overweight and obesity are unhealthy fat accumulations. children aged 2-18 are deemed overweight if their body mass index (BMI)/Age is ≥ 85th - \<95th percentile and obese if \>95th percentile. BMI measures obesity but not body fat. Lean and fat mass are not distinguished by BMI. Body composition includes total fat, fat-free mass, bone mineral, and water. Obese children have more body fat, lean body mass, bone mineral, and body water but lower lean body mass. aerobic physical exercise changes the body composition of children with overweight and obesity, but research on the effect of aerobic exercise on all body composition variables in Indonesia has never been done, so researchers will investigate its effects.

Effect of Collagen Peptides, in Combination With Resistance Training, on Body Composition and Muscle Strength in Untrained Men

The effect of resistance training with post-exercise Collagen peptides (CP) supplementation on lean body mass, maximal and explosive, isometric muscle strength as well as fat mass, resting metabolism, health parameters and compared to resistance training alone will be evaluated in a group of untrained overweight male (30-60 yrs) population in a randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Does Muscle Mass At Intensive Care Unit Admission Determine Mortality: the Memo Study

This retrospective monocentric study aims to investigate whether a low muscle mass at ICU admission and its loss over the ICU stay predicts mortality, and in what proportion we can counteract it by nutritional support.
