Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a physical activity program for 4 months on aerobic capacity and on rating of perceived exertion exercise test in obese children according to their gender.
Method: fourteen children (8 boys vs. 6girls) who participated in an exercise program for 4 months at 4 sessions per week with an intensity of 70 to 85% of maximum heart rate observed in the initial exercise test.
Results: For the boys group the Waist circumference loss was 2cm (P < 0.001), the percentage of Fat Body Mass (% FM) was decreased 2,6% (P < 0.001) and total Fat Free Mass (FFM) has increased 3,3kg (P < 0.001). For the girls group (GF), (WC) loss was 1cm (P < 0.05), the (% FM) was decreased 1.7% (P < 0.01) and total (FFM) has increased 2,7kg (P < 0.001). When we compared the variation of aerobic parameters between (GF) and (GG) , there were differences in maximal Metabolic Equivalent of Task (10,8% vs 4%, P = 0.2), in maximal workload (15% vs 3,3% P < 0.001) and in maximum Heart Rate (0,9% vs 3,5%; p=0.04). The scores of rating of perceived exertion at baseline and at the end were respectively for GG and GF (7,22

Introduction: L'objectif de notre étude est d'évaluer les effets d'un programme d'activité physique de 4 mois sur la composition corporelle, la capacité aérobie et la perception de la contrainte à une épreuve d'effort sur ergocycle chez garçons obèses vs des filles obèses.
Méthode: La population d'étude est composée de 14 enfants obèses (8 garçons vs 6 filles) qui ont participé à un programme d'activité physique pendant 4 mois à raison de 4 séance par semaine avec une intensité de réentraînement de 70 à 85% de la fréquence cardiaque maximale observé dans une épreuve d'effort initiale.
Résultats: Pour le (GG) la mesure du tour de taille (TT) a diminué de 2cm (P < 0.001), le pourcentage de la masse grasse (% MG) a été réduit de 2,6% (P < 0.001) et le total de la masse maigre (MM) a été élevé de 3,3kg (P < 0.001). Pour le groupe des filles (GF), la mesure du (TT) a diminué de 1cm (P < 0.05), le (% MG) a été réduit de 1.7% (P < 0.01) et le totale de la (MM) a été élevé de 2,7kg (P < 0.001). En comparant les variations des paramètres aérobics entre le (GF) et (GG) , nous trouvons les résultats suivants; l'Equivalent Métabolique maximale MET max (10,8% vs 4%, P = 0.2), la Puissance maximal (15% vs 3,3% P < 0.001) , la fréquence cardiaque maximal (0,9% vs3,5%; p=0.04). Le score de la perception de l'effort avant et à la fin du programme était respectivement pour le GG et GF (7,22±1 vs 5,89±1,1, p<0,01) et (7,4±1 vs 6,3±0,8).
Conclusion: Nos résultats suggèrent que l'individualisation de l'entraînement doit être prise en compte dans les programmes d'activité physique pour les enfants obèses.
