The purpose of this study was to conduct the effects of endurance training on body composition and inflammatory markers
in overweight male. For this study, 16 overweight males were recruited as participants. The participants were randomized
divided into two groups, control group(n=8) and experimental group(n=8). Experimental group was trained 3km running
program during 12 weeks(5 days per week). However, control group did not undergo any training. Before- and
after-examination respectively, took a measurement of body composition and blood samples were took 2 times, which were at
pre- and post-experiment, to measure the concentration of plasma WBC, albumin and neutrophil. The analyzed data brought
about the following results by using two-way repeated ANOVA and %diff independent samples t-test with SPSS 18.0. The
results of the research were as follows. First, according to body composition, weight was statistically significant between
level(p<.01), but BMI was not statistically significant between group. Second, according to plasma WBC level, statistically
significant between group(p<.01). Third, according to plasma albumin level, statistically significant between group(p<.001).
Fourth, according to plasma neutrophil level, no significant between level. From the result, endurance training may positively
effects on body composition and inflammatory markers.
