Abstract: The study was carried out on a sample of 23 working age female subjects of an average age of 38.3 ± 4.45 years from Pančevo, classified based on their body mass index (BMI≥25 kg/m2). Their blood and body composition was measured during the initial and final measuring. The experimental factor involved directed low intensity aerobic training for a period of eight weeks. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of the transformation process and relation of the biochemical parameters at the initial and final body composition variables assessment measuring. The research results obtained by the Paired-Samples T test revealed statistically significant differences in the following variables: Body Weight, Body Fat Mass, BMI, Body Fat Percent, Visceral Fat, Blood Glucose, LDL and HDLD in favor of the final measuring. The regression analysis showed that the system of biochemical parameters determine the BMI to a small extent, Visceral Fat and Body Fat Mass (from 16% to 30% at the initial measuring and from 18% to 32.8% at the final measuring) and that the predictor system was significantly associated in neither of the cases. The biochemical parameters were, for the most part, associated with the nutritional status at the final measuring, while this percentage was lowest for the Visceral Fat criteria at the initial measuring. At the final measuring, the share of biochemical parameters of Body Fat Mass was reduced, while the BMI and Visceral Fat increased slightly. The authors recommend moderate intensity training as an effective way to improve the physical and biochemical parameters of health preservation and weight reduction.
