    Abstract:

    Background People with normal weight obesity (NWO) are prone to cardiovascular diseases in the middle and old age. High intensity interval training (HIIT) has been demonstrated to improve cardiovascular health. However, whether HIIT can decrease the risk of cardiovascular diseases in NWO is not clear. Objectives To explore the effects of four weeks HIIT on the advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) and fasting blood glucose in the NWO female university students, and to clarify the role of HIIT in reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Methods Forty NWO subjects were screened out from 137 female college students by Inbody-770 test and randomly divided into the control group (n=13) and HIIT (n=17) intervention group. After one week of adaptive training, the HIIT intervention group completed 4-week, 5 days/week of training. Then the weight, BMI, BF%, VFA, VFL and waist were recorded by Inbody-770. AGEs were detected by AGE Reader MU, fingertip blood was collected to measure fasting blood glucose by blood glucose analyzer, the values of TC/HDL LDL/HDL TG/HDL were calculated by blood lipid analysis system Reader MU and the cardiovascular risk assessment based on the China-PAR model before and after the intervention. Results After four-week training, comparing with the control group, ⑴ the BMI, BF%, VFA, VFL, and waist decreased significantly (p<0.01, p<0.01, p<0.01, p<0.01, p<0.01) in the HIIT intervention group. ⑵ The AGEs and blood glucose decreased significantly (p<0.01, p<0.01) in the HIIT intervention group. ⑶ The values of TC/HDL, LDL/HDL, TG/HDL, and the cardiovascular risk decreased significantly (p<0.01, p<0.01, p<0.01, p<0.01) in the HIIT intervention group. Conclusion Four-weeks HIIT can effectively reduce the body fat, the levels of AGEs and blood glucose as well as the risk of cardiovascular disease in the NWO female university students.

    Abstract: Physical Literacy (PL) refers to the comprehensive ability required to maintain physical activity throughout the life process, and is a lifelong physical education process. In recent decades, the study of physical literacy has become a hot issue in the field of sports science worldwide. Western countries, especially Canada, have taken the lead in the evaluation and application of Physical literacy in the world. This study integrates and analyzes the relevant research literature of physical literacy in the past 30 years, and explores deeply from the historical evolution of concept, dimension analysis of structure attribute, systematic comparison of operation measurement and evaluation and application of physical literacy. By comparing the research progress at home and abroad, this paper puts forward that the evaluation and application system of physical literacy should be developed according to the national conditions, and on this basis, the possible future research directions of physical literacy are prospected.
