Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effect of engaging in physical activity on chemerin hormone levels, selected biochemical markers, and body composition among obese female students in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

The researcher adopted the experimental approach due to its suitability for the nature of the study. A one-group pretest-posttest design was used, in which a proposed training program was applied. The sample consisted of 20 deliberately selected obese secondary school students from Shabab Al-Fahad Private Schools during the 2024/2025 academic year, aged between 15 and 18 years.

A physical activity program was implemented to improve chemerin hormone levels and body composition in the participants. The program lasted for three months, with three training sessions per week.

The results revealed a significant improvement in chemerin hormone levels, selected biochemical variables, and body composition. The average hormone level decreased from 150.30 to 134.20, representing a 10.7% improvement. Clear enhancements were also observed in biochemical variables and all components of body composition. Furthermore, the program encouraged participants to maintain regular physical activity.

The researcher recommended the use of the proposed training program as a reference for improving chemerin hormone levels, selected biochemical markers, and body composition in obese female students in Saudi Arabia.
