Abstract
The literature lacks data on the effect of exercise on HGS and HGE in individuals who are overweight with a BMI of 25.0-29.9. [...]the present study has been conducted in overweight individuals with the objective of comparing the changes seen in the HGS and HGE between the exercising and non-exercising overweight young adults and to study whether exercise causes improvement in the HGS and HGE although the subjects were overweight. DISCUSSION Exercise is a well-known lifestyle measure that can improve a person's overall health and help in maintaining physical fitness. Exercise improves the upper body strength which can be assessed by handgrip dynamometer and the objective of the present study was to find out if exercise causes improvement in the HGS and HGE among the overweight subjects when compared to the non-exercising overweight subjects. Since HGS depends on gender[11] and BMI,[12] only overweight females were included in the present study. The result of the present study is similar to the results obtained by previously published studies[1314] which concluded that HGS and endurance are better in individuals who practice calisthenics and yoga exercises but the study subjects of these studies were either athletes who were physically active for more than a month or children who practiced yoga for 6 months.
