Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;The present study assessed the status and relationship between gross efficiency and morphologic parameters of obese mid age men residing in West Bengal, India. A total of 44 mid age obese men of sedentary habits i.e. lifestyle habits without any structured physical activities, aged 35-55 years participated in this study. Height, weight, waist circumference, body surface area, and lean body mass were selected as morphologic parameters. All the morphologic parameters were measured by using standardized methods while gross efficiency was estimated from work output and exercising energy expenditure adopting standard equations of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM, 2002).The results indicated that gross efficiency was directly proportional to selected morphologic parameters of obese people (p&amp;lt;0.05).&lt;/p&gt;</p>
