The Effect of Aerobic Activity along with Green Tea and Coffee Consumption on Fat Oxidation and Blood Pressure in Overweight Girls

Regular exercise activity along with the consumption of green tea and green coffee has anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anti-obesity properties in addition to antioxidant compounds. This study aims to investigate the effect of eight weeks of progressive aerobic activity along with the consumption of green tea and green coffee on fat oxidation and blood pressure in overweight girls.

This research was carried out using a semi-experimental method and a clinical trial in the form of pre-test and post-test. Based on this, 48 people were invited to participate in the briefing session and randomly divided into four exercise groups + green coffee, 12 people (Exe+coffee), exercise group + green tea, 12 people (Exe+tea), exercise group + Green coffee+green tea, 12 people (Exe+coffee+tea) and training group, 12 people (Exe). One day after taking blood in the first stage and measuring physical and physiological indicators in all four groups, the subjects received progressive aerobic training for eight weeks, as well as green tea or green coffee or both depending on the experimental group.

The results of the present study showed that there is no significant difference in the variables of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and total cholesterol between the four groups, but in the variables of body weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, waist to hip ratio and Triglyceride, the differences between the four groups were significant.

Obese and overweight women can improve their body composition and general health by combining progressive aerobic exercises and consuming green tea and green coffee supplements.
