<![CDATA[This research was aimed to knowthe difference of: (1) effect between fartlek and jogging in improving biochemical and physiological conditions,(2) effect of normal and high fasting blood glucose levels in exercising to improve the biochemical and physiological conditions, (3)the better groups in improving the biochemical and physiological conditions of the overweight.This research is an experimental research using 2x2 design. The subjects were the people of Pakembinangun, 30-40 years old of male withoverweight. The samplewas determined using purposive sampling technique with 20 respondents. The instrumentsused were a glucose meter, a digital sphygmomanometer,and a tape measure. Data analysis used two-way ANOVA.The results of the research show that:(1) there was significant difference of effect between fartlek and jogging in improving biochemical and physiological conditions. Fartlek was better used to lower fasting blood glucose levels, while jogging was better to lower cholesterol, blood pressure, abdominal circumference and BMI,(2) there was a significant difference in the effect of normal and high fasting blood glucose levels in performing exercise to improve the biochemical and physiological conditions. The condition of normal baseline fasting blood glucose levels was better in doing exercise to improve biochemical and physiological conditions,(3) the groups who were given fartlek exercise with high initial fasting blood glucose levels were better in lowering fasting blood glucose levels, while the groups who were given jogging with normal fasting blood glucose levels were better in lowering blood cholesterol, blood pressure, abdominal circumference and BMI.]]>
