The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of 8
hemoglobin concentration and oxygen saturation in 10-12 year-old obese children.
Methods: A total of 40 obese children volunteered in the study. Mean age and height of the children
participating in the study was 11,40±0,68 years and 149,40±3,60 cm, respectively in the training
group and 11,30±0,80 years and 149,20±3,55 cm , respectivel

applied in the training group of obese children participating in the study. No statistically significant
differences were found between pre-test and post-test body weight, body mass index, hemoglobin
concentration and oxygen saturation values in the control group of obese children (p>0,05). On the
contrary, statistically significant differences were found between the pre
weight, body mass index, hemoglobin concentration and oxygen saturation values in the experiment
group of obese children (p<0,05).
Results: In conclusion, regular physical activity can be suggested to have an important place in
healthy development and growth of children and in the treatment of negative effects of respiratory
system complications that develop in the metabolism as a result of obesity.

Obesity is a chronic disease developed as a result of increased
fat body mass due to a higher amount of
energy caused by metabolism of the ingested food compared to
the energy we consume as a result of the metabolic events in
the body and physical activities. Incidence of obesity has been
increased in many countries recently and has become a serious
Obesity due to a sedentary life style causes many
complications in the body. Some of these complications related
th the respiratory system are sleep apnea and obesity hypo
ventilation syndrome. In addition to the increasing upper
respiratory resistance due to excess body weight, weakness
occurs in chemoreceptor functions and air flow due to
ntilation syndrome.
Decreased oxygen saturation level is among the findings of

On the other hand, sleep apnea is repetitive ceasing of air
passage during sleep due to collapse of the respiratory tract.
Increased neck circumference explains the association of
obesity and the disease in those individuals
A study performed in patients with
body mass index demonstrated changes in the function of
upper airway tract instead of its structure after
loss (Rubinstein et al., 1988). Many chemical reactions used to
obtain energy in living creatures would be impossible wi
oxygen. Therefore, the amount of oxygen
tissues is important. An adequate amount of hemoglobin
molecules, arterial oxygen saturation and a normal cardiac
function is necessary in order to carry an adequate amount of
oxygen to the tissues (Ercin, 2006
is found in erythrocytes and includes protein and iron is an
important factor affecting the oxygen saturation, since the
inspired oxygen is carried to the tissues by binding to an
hemoglobin molecule. One mole o
