Brisk walking is regarded by many fitness experts as the most convenient, safe and inexpensive form of exercise especially for older and unfit people such as obese individuals; it also has numerous health benefits ranging from keeping one's heart in a healthy shape and to help in the process of weight management. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of brisk walking on anthropometric indices (body weight, body mass index, lean bodyweight, body density and percent of body fat) and physiological characteristics (systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate) of obese adults in Ilorin metropolis.One group pretest-posttest experimental research design was adopted for the study, the population comprises of 70 obese adults, males and females between ages 25-49 years in Ilorin metropolis. The research instruments were standardized equipment (stadiometer, stethoscope, weighing scale, stopwatch, meter rule, skinfold caliper and sphygmomanometer). The participants were required to brisk walk 3 times a week and 70minutes per session at an intensity of 40-70% of their respective age-predicted maximum heart rate for 8 weeks. Descriptive statistics of anthropometric and physiological parameters data form were used to collect data for the study. percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to describe the demographic data while the two null hypotheses formulated were tested using parametric statistic of Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) at 0.05 level of significance. Anthropometric indices and physiological characteristics were measured at pre and post exercise interventions.The findings revealed that there were significant effect of brisk walking (P<0.05) in bodyweight, BMI, lean body weight, body density, percentage of body fat and physiological characteristics. Hence, it was concluded that brisk walking for 8 weeks was appropriate exercise for obese adults considering the effects on the anthropometric and physiological parameters.Based on the findings, the study concludes that there were significant effects of brisk walking on body weight, Body Mass Index, lean body weight, body density, percentage of body fat, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate of obese adults in Ilorin metropolis. It is recommended that the findings of this study should be adopted by Physical Education teachers, Health trainers and Fitness experts for prescribing the brisk walking programme for the adults and by extension different age groups in Ilorin metropolis. There should also be periodic data collection on obesity and overweight to update and evaluate the obesity and overweight situation in Ilorin Metropolis.
