Effects of walk training with self-selected intensity on biochemical markers and anthropometric variables in women with obesity

Abstract To evaluate the effects of 12-weeks of walk training with self-selected intensity on lipid profile and anthropometric variables in women with obesity. Forty-eight women volunteers with obesity were randomly assigned into two training groups: self-selected walking group (SSWG; n = 25) and control group (CG; n = 23). There was improvement in biochemical markers only in the SSWG post-intervention ( p p  > 0.05). This study demonstrates that walking at self-selected intensity improved the lipid profile in women with obesity.
