摘要：The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of 16 wk training with self-selected intensity in sports and programmed physical fitness activities on anthropometric and biochemical components. High school adolescents were divided into two experimental groups: (a) self-selected physical activity in sports (PAS) with 55 students (15.7 ± 0.7 yrs); and (b) physical fitness training (PFT) with 53 students (16.0 ± 0.7 yrs). Both activities were performed 3 times•wk~(-1) during 60 min classes. Data were collected before and after the 16-wk intervention. Multivariate analysis indicated the effect of time for all the biochemical measurements and only two anthropometric measurements, which were height (P = 0.001, η~2 = 0.40) and body mass index (P = 0.001, η~2 = 0.10). Moreover, there were no effects of the intervention type (group effect) nor interactive. For the PFT group, significant differences (pre x post) were found in the measurements of glucose, total cholesterol, and low density lipoprotein (LDL). For the PAS group, differences were observed for the measures of LDL, very low density lipoprotein, and triglycerides. According to these findings, the self-selected physical activities in sports and programmed physical fitness training had very similar effects on the subjects’ biochemical and anthropometric components.
