COMPARISION OF ENERGY EXPENDITURE DURING WALKING AND RUNNING ON TRACK BEFORE AND AFTER TRAINING IN YOUNG HEALTHY ADULT WOMEN

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the energy expenditure in healthy women before training a nd after training during the walking and running. Materials and Methods: Forty healthy women were taken as the subjects and energy expenditure was calculated before and after training during walking and runn ing. In this study a 1600 metres (1 mile) track measured using PVC reel tape was used for walking and runnin g. Results: The examination of parameters, body mass index, heart rate, energy expenditure and statistical an alysis was estimated for all subjects. The data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statist ics. Discussion: The findings suggested a significance decrease in heart rate and blood pressure and energy expenditure in women after training as compared to before training for both during walking and runni ng. Conclusion: Study for the both during walking and running shows that energy expenditure was higher com- pared to walking for the same distance. The energy expenditure is high in before training group comp ared to after training. The heart rate of the untrained subjects was also increased when compared with after training
