Abstract

The researcher conducted a study titled:

Cardio Exercises and Their Impact on Blood Lipids and Body Mass Index Among Health Club Goers

Objective:The research aims to study the impact of cardio exercises on blood lipids and body mass index (BMI) among health club goers.

Methodology: The researchers used the experimental method, suitable for the nature of the research, employing an experimental design with two groups “A” and “B” and using pre, intermediate, and post measurements. The main sample included 16 individuals, while the pilot study sample included 4 individuals from the same research community but outside the main sample.

Key Findings:

1. The results showed that both Moderate Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) achieved similar improvements in BMI and blood lipids among the sample.

Key Recommendations:

Based on the findings, the researchers recommend the following:

1. Adopting (HIIT) as a time-efficient option for improving (BMI) and blood lipids, especially for individuals with busy daily schedules.
