A253: Examining Health Variations Between Resistance Training With/Without Breathing Retraining In Overweight Young Women, Huan Cai, Chengye Dai 2026 Tianjin University of Sport

A253: Examining Health Variations Between Resistance Training With/Without Breathing Retraining In Overweight Young Women, Huan Cai, Chengye Dai

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Physical inactivity and overweight are public health concerns among young Chinese women. A decrease in respiratory strength and endurance has been reported in obese/overweight individuals, as the increased fat accumulation in the chest wall and trunk leads to weakness of the respiratory muscle and changes in breathing patterns, resulting in decreased lung ventilation, the capacity for oxygen delivery, and utilization. Studies showed that RT can increase cardiopulmonary function as shown by improvement of submaximal exercise and increased peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), resulting enhancement of muscle hypertrophy. Breathing retraining (BR) can also manipulate breathing patterns. Therefore, the purpose of this study …

A280: Physical Activity, Social Support, And Stress Among High School Students, Moderating Effects Of Only-Child Status, Yining Hu 2026 Shandong University

A280: Physical Activity, Social Support, And Stress Among High School Students, Moderating Effects Of Only-Child Status, Yining Hu

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Stress levels reflect an individual's psycho-physiological imbalance in response to environmental demands. Research suggests that physical activity not only directly alleviates negative emotions but may also indirectly reduce stress levels by enhancing social support networks. However, the underlying mechanisms of this pathway and the moderating effects of family structure differences (e.g., only-child status) are unclear. This study aimed to explore the relationship between physical activity and stress levels among high school students in Shandong Province, test the mediating role of social support between the two, and analyze the moderating effect of only-child status on the relationship. Method: The present study …

A285: Effects Of Aerobic Exercise On Young Women With Binge Eating Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Trial, Shihui Cao, Ruyun Wang, Shanshan Mao

International Journal of Physical Activity and Health

Binge eating disorder (BED) is one of the most common eating disorders. It is more common in young women than in other groups and can lead to adverse physical and psychological problems. Previous studies have revealed that aerobic exercise is effective in reducing overeating, but it is not clear which exercise intensity works best. This study, therefore, compared the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on body composition and mental state of young women with BED. 30 BED young women (Mage = 20.07 years, SD = 0.20) who didn't regularly participate in physical activity were …
