Obesity in the United Sates is a major public health concern. It impacts a large proportion of the general black population, especially women. The purpose of this study is to compare different modes of exercise training regimes on blood glucose function and endothelial compliance of blood vessels in 18-25-year-old obese African-American women. Subjects were recruited from a pool of Howard University undergraduate students who fulfilled the following selection criteria: female, 18-25 years of age, Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 and above. The experiments investigated two groups of subjects in the form of resistance training on a leg extension machine. One group underwent resistance training only (control group), and one group underwent resistance training with partially restricted blood flow (test group).

520 $a Obesity in the United Sates is a major public health concern. It impacts a large proportion of the general black population, especially women. The purpose of this study is to compare different modes of exercise training regimes on blood glucose function and endothelial compliance of blood vessels in 18-25-year-old obese African-American women. Subjects were recruited from a pool of Howard University undergraduate students who fulfilled the following selection criteria: female, 18-25 years of age, Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 and above. The experiments investigated two groups of subjects in the form of resistance training on a leg extension machine. One group underwent resistance training only (control group), and one group underwent resistance training with partially restricted blood flow (test group).
520 $a Training protocols consisted of exercising three days per week for six weeks on a leg extension resistance training machine. The right and left legs were exercise-trained individually. Partial-restricted blood flow participants were positioned on the leg extension exercise machine with a vacuum occlusion cuff wrapped around the upper leg.
520 $a A total of 11 participants were entered into the study. Of these, seven completed all aspects of the study.
520 $a As a general outcome of this study, the results clearly indicate that exercise training had discernable effects on the parameters that were studied in the participants. In particular, the training prompted significant improvements in glucose clearance, endothelial function and cerebral activity. Most surprisingly, exercise training under restricted blood flow conditions did not render the results that could have been expected from data in the published literature.
520 $a All investigated parameters indicate the benefits of exercise training, even at a very circumscribed level of leg resistance training. The data compiled with the different regimes of exercise with or without blood flow occlusion did not show any discernable advantage of restricted blood flow exercises, at least in our hands.
520 $a All in all, the investigated parameters indicate discernable improvements in body composition, at least in the exercised body region, significant reduction in blood glucose, improved blood vessel function and improved brain wave amplitudes and coherences.
