Effects of Short Isokinetic Eccentric Resistance Training on Neuromuscular Induced Adaptations Among Obese, Untrained Women
The study compares the impact of isokinetic resistance training (RT) -induced neuromuscular adaptation following an 8-week short ECC ISO RT and CON ISO RT among obese, untrained women. The main question it aims to answer is:
1. Does exercise-induced neuromuscular adaptation following progressive short ECC ISO RT, more effectively than CON ISO RT, among obese, untrained women?
Researchers will compare drug ECCISO RT to a CONISO RT to see if ECCISO RT is more effective in inducing neuro-muscular adaptations in obese, untrained women.
Participants will:
1. Train on isokinetic ECC or CON for 8 weeks 2. Visit the clinic twice for baseline and post tests
