Abstract
Background and Purpose: Aerobic training and Natural Extract (green tea) for women with metabolic syndrome improves the level of lipid profile, exercise capacity, prevent cardiovascular complication and decrease morbidity. The effects of three months aerobic exercise training and natural extract on lipid profile in women with metabolic syndrome were compared in this study.
Patients and Methodology: Sixty women complained of metabolic syndrome patients as a result of some metabolic and cardiovascular disease with age of 40-50 years were included in the present study. Their Body Mass Index (BMI) was ranged from 30 to 39.9kg/m2). They were randomly divided into three equal groups. Group (A) who participated in a program of aerobic exercise in the form of walking on treadmill (4 times per a week) for 30min and drank 5 cups of the water extract of the dried green tea leaves daily, Group (B) who participated in the same program of aerobic exercise only as Group (A), and Group (C) who drank the same green tea extract in the same manner as Group (A) but without application of any aerobic exercise at all. The study was conducted from May 2015 till August 2015, at PT Departement of El-Monira Hospital.
Biochemical changes in lipid profile (TC, LDL, and HDL) were measured at the beginning of the study and after twelve weeks, for all groups.
Results: Revealed a significant decrease in the total blood cholesterol and LDL-C. The best percentage of improvement in the LDL-C, TC and HDL-C were found for Group (A) followed by Group (C) then Group (B).
Conclusion: It was concluded that aerobic exercise when combined with the green tea water extract can produce a heigh significant improvement for women with metabolic syndrome rather than when any of both applied separately.
