The aim of the research was to assess the impact of the distribution of abdominal fat (subcutaneous SAT and visceral VAT estimated at the height of the navel) on selected metabolic parameters and on specific parameters of cardiopulmonary fitness in terms of people with obesity.
The research was carried out in 3 stages. Stage 1 was carried out at the Department of Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition of the UMB. During the visit, the subjects were provided with detailed information concerning the research and every participant signed a voluntary consent to participate in the research. Furthermore, an interview questionnaire concerning the duration of obesity and past diseases was collected, and an assessment of the status of nutrition based on anthropometric measurements was carried out, and a body composition analysis was performed using the bioelectroimpedance method using the Maltron BioScan 920-2 analyzer. Then, patients were issued a referral for laboratory examinations. Stage 2 was carried out at the Medical Laboratory at the University Clinical Hospital in Bialystok, where blood was taken from the ulnar vein (in the amount of 15ml). The concentrations of the following parameters were determined from the blood serum: fasting glucose, fasting insulin, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol fraction, HDL cholesterol fraction, triglycerides, C-reactive protein (CRP), uric acid, creatinine, and aminotrasferases: alanine (ALT) and aspartate (AST). On the basis of fasting glucose and fasting insulin, the HOMA - IR insulin resistance index was calculated. Stage 3 was carried out at the Maniac Gym Fitness Club in Bialystok, where cardiopulmonary fitness was assessed using the Modified Bruce protocol.

A body composition analysis was performed using the bioelectroimpedance method using the Maltron BioScan 920-2 analyzer
An assessment of the status of nutrition based on anthropometric measurements was carried out.
An interview questionnaire concerning the duration of obesity and past diseases was collected. Moreover, the diet and nutritional status were assessed.
The impact of the body compositon parameters (BioScan 920-2) on the risk of metabolic complications of obesity with to use biochemical parameters.
The body weight (kg) was measured using a scale with stadiometer. The height (cm) was measured using a scale with stadiometer. This measurment is needed to calculate BMI (Body Mass Index) and to do a body composition analysis. The body composition parameters was determined using the bioimpedance method with a BioScan 920-2 body composition analyzer (Maltron,UK): fat mass (kg), percentage of body fat (%), muscle mass (kg),total body water (kg), basal metabolic rate (kcal). Laboratory tests were performed to determine the following serum levels: fasting glucose, fasting insulin, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol fraction, HDL cholesterol fraction, triglycerides, C-reactive protein (CRP), uric acid, creatinine, and aminotrasferases: alanine (ALT) and aspartate (AST). On the basis of fasting glucose and fasting insulin. The HOMA - IR insulin resistance index was calculated according to the formula: fasting insulin (microU/L) x fasting glucose (nmol/L)/22.5.
Time frame: 1 week
The impact of the abdominal adipose tissue (VAT, SAT or VAT/SAT) on the risk of metabolic complications of obesity with to use biochemical parameters.
Abdominal adipose tissue was determined using the bioimpedance method with a BioScan 920-2 body composition analyzer (Maltron,UK): visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and VAT/SAT. Laboratory tests were performed to determine the following serum levels: fasting glucose, fasting insulin, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol fraction, HDL cholesterol fraction, triglycerides, C-reactive protein (CRP), uric acid, creatinine, and aminotrasferases: alanine (ALT) and aspartate (AST). On the basis of fasting glucose and fasting insulin. The HOMA - IR insulin resistance index was calculated according to the formula: fasting insulin (microU/L) x fasting glucose (nmol/L)/22.5.
Time frame: 1 week
The impact of abdominal adipose tissue distribution (VAT and SAT) on the parameters of cardiopulmonary efficiency.
Abdominal adipose tissue was determined using the bioimpedance method with a BioScan 920-2 body composition analyzer (Maltron,UK): visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) and VAT/SAT. Cardiopulmonary fitness was assessed using the Modified Bruce protocol.

Cardiopulmonary fitness was assessed using the Modified Bruce protocol
A 7-day nutrition interview was collected. The supply of energy, protein (including amino acids), fat (including fatty acids), carbohydrates, dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals in the usual diet was assessed.
Time frame: 1 week
Verification of the usefulness of selected anthropometric parameters in the assessment of the risk of developing metabolic disorders in obesity and their relationship with cardiovascular and respiratory efficiency.
An assessment of the status of nutrition based on anthropometric measurements was carried out: body mass index (body weight-kg/weight m2), Waist circumference measurements have been made to the nearest 0.1 centimeter using a tape measure at the uppermost lateral border of the hip crest, Hip circumference was measured at the greater trochanters at the widest part of the hips, Relative fat mass was calculated by the equation: 64-(20 x (height/waist circumference) Laboratory tests were performed to determine the following serum levels: fasting glucose, fasting insulin, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, C-reactive protein (CRP), uric acid, creatinine, and aminotrasferases: alanine and aspartate. On the basis of fasting glucose and fasting insulin The HOMA - IR insulin resistance index was calculated according to the formula: fasting insulin (microU/L) x fasting glucose (nmol/L)/22.5 Cardiopulmonary fitness was assessed using the Modified Bruce protocol
