The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of walking and band exercise for 12 weeks on c-reactive protein and cardiovascular disease risk factor in overweight and obese children. Body composition, blood lipids, insulin sensitivity, c-reactive protein (CRP) were assessed before, after 4 weeks and after 12 weeks of combined exercise. Sixteen participants (BMI21.3) were randomly allocated to exercise group (n=8) and control group (n=8). The exercise group participated in 50 minutes of walking exercise and band exercises as resistance training two days a week for 12 weeks. There were significant different on weight (p<0.001), BMI (p<0.001), fat mass (p<0.001), fat percentage (p<0.001), LBM percentage (p<0.001), TG (p<0.05), HDL-C (p<0.01), insulin (p<0.05), HOMA-IR (p<0.05) in exercise group after intervention. And the change of weight (p<0.001), BMI (p<0.001), fat mass (p<0.001), fat percentage (p<0.001), LBM mass (p<0.05), LBM percentage (p<0.001), insulin (p<0.05), HOMA-IR (p<0.05) were significant difference between groups after intervention. These findings suggest that 12 weeks of walking and band exercise can be useful intervention in the improvement of cardiovascular disease risk factor in overweight and obese children. But c-reactive protein was no change.
