The objective of this study is to analyse the benefits of a physical exercise programme with self-loads on body composition in women aged between 20 and 25 years old. All of them underwent a physical exercise program for 4 weeks (60 min, 5 days per week) that included strength, aerobic exercise and flexibility. The body composition (skinfolds and weight) was evaluated before and at the end of the exercise programme, which lasted for four weeks.
A weight reduction (54,8 ± 2,4 Vs. 52,4 ± 2,3 kg) was observed, accompanied by a decrease in the fat mass in all measurements, the most relevant being in the thigh area (24 ± 3,5 kg) Vs 21 ± 3,0 mm) and the abdomen (23 ± 2,5 Vs 20,5 ± 2,0 mm). Therefore, it can be affirmed that the four-week programme of physical exercise with self-loads seems to be effective in reducing fat mass in the lower limbs and abdomen in women aged between 20 to 25 years old.
