Abstract

composition changes examined were BMI, % body fat, fat mass, fat free mass and waist circumference. The mean changes in body composition between both groups were compared on completion of the 8 week CR programme. Results: Results showed there was no significant difference in body composition between the intervention group and control group on completion of the 8 week CR programme. On further examination of the results, the findings illustrated that one subject in the intervention group moved from Obese 1 (30 kg/m 2) category to the overweight (25 kg/m 2 <30 kg/m 2) category. Contrary to these findings, in the control group, 1 subject moved from Obese 1 to Obese 2 (35 kg/m 2 <40 kg/m 2) category
