Abstract

In recent years, childhood obesity has been considered a growing global problem. It has been linked to a number of diseases, including cardiovascular disease. For this purpose, various methods have been used to control and treat obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rope training along with milk consumption on serum levels of vitamin D and body composition of boys aged 9 to 12 years with overweight. For this purpose, 38 boys aged 9 to 12 overweight were divided into four groups: control group (9 people), milk group (10 people), training group (10 people), training group - milk (9 people). For 8 weeks, the training groups participated in 30-minute rope training sessions in accordance with the principle of overload. The covariance analysis test was used to analyze the data. Data analysis showed that the mean of vitamin D was increased in the exercise-milk group and the exercise group, which was significant in the milk-exercise group (P=0.0001). LBM changes were not significant in any of the groups. FM (P=0.001) was significantly reduced in the exercise-milk group and the exercise group. BMI (P=0.001) and WHR (P=0.001) also increased significantly in the exercise-milk and exercise groups (P
