A Comparative Study of Some Physiological Variables between People with Obesity and Non-obesity

Abstract

The tremendous technological progress that led to the dependence of individuals on the machine in the
modern age and in all different fields led to the lack of human movement and thus the lack of its physical
and physiological efficacy, which made it vulnerable to infection with many diseases, which are called
diseases of lack of movement The ideal body weight is a vital subject for the human being during the stages
of his life and the development of his maturity. As well as, it is one of the necessary indicators to follow
the health, functional and psychological state in which researchers and specialists work in the medical,
sports and psychological fields. The importance of study is to have aknowledge regarding the physiological
variables of obese and non-obese people and making comparisons between them to understand the positive
effects of the ideal weight of individuals, which is reached through the practice of physical activity and
constantly on the physiological variables and work to develop and improve these variables in a way that
serves the health aspect. The researchers used the descriptive method in the survey. It is the best approach
in achieving the study goals. The study sample was chosen in an intentional way. It was represented by the
students of the third stage of the College of Physical Education at the University of Basra, where the sample
size reached (30) students from the College of Physical Education and Sports Science. It was divided into
two groups, and the size of each group was (15) participants, after excluding the female students who were
(5). Dividing the sample into two groups, one that suffers from an increase in weight and another of normal
weight according to the body mass index, measuring blood pressure, the number of heartbeat and measuring
some physiological variables. The researchers concluded that people without obesity are healthier and more
active than infected people who suffer from many disorders and problems in their physiological variables.
