Efficacy of four week tailored exercise program on physical fitness,anthropometric measurement and cardiovascular risk markers in obese class-I population.

NEED OF STUDY Obesity rates were higher among women (41.88%) compared to men (38.67%), and more prevalent in urban areas (44.17%) than rural regions (36.08%). It is defined as a critical public health issue linked to increased risks of cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and impaired physical fitness. Also, because of various sedentary lifestyles which are characterized by prolonged sitting, minimal physical activity, and excessive screen time, it also has a well-established link to obesity and other related health risks. There have been several studies which highlight the impact of various exercise programs on obesity but some of them often fail to address individual differences in fitness levels, preferences, and specific health needs, leading to poor adherence and sub optimal health outcomes. So, it is a need to address the impact of tailored exercise program on physical fitness, anthropometric measurement and cardiovascular risk markers in obese class - I Population. **SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY -**Obesity Management offers a structured and time-efficient exercise intervention to help obese individuals improve their fitness levels, supports weight management by analyzing energy expenditure and energy cost. It also demonstrates the feasibility of a short-term intervention in initiating positive physiological changes. It also includes cardiovascular health improvement by reducing arterial stiffness, a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease, through improved vascular function, further enhances autonomic regulation, contributing to better heart rate control and blood pressure stability and modifies lipid profiles favorably, reducing LDL and triglycerides while increasing HDL, thereby lowering cardiovascular risk. However, there have been studies which have proved the effect of long – term exercises on obese people. This study is needed to bridge gap between generic and personalized exercise programs for obesity management. So, this study will analyze whether the effect of tailored exercise programs is quite effective on physical fitness, anthropometric measurement and cardiovascular risk markers in the obese class – I population.
