Efficacy of Aerobic Exercise Augmented by Electro-Lipolysis on Lipid Profile and Abdominal Adiposity in Obese Premenopausal Women, MAGDA S. MOURSI and AMIR A. GABR
Abstract
The current study is carried out to determine the influence of electrolipolysis on reducing central obesity and improving lipid profile in obese premenopausal women. Thirty premeno-pausal obese women, their age ranged between 40 and 49 years, their BMI between 35 and 40Kg/m2, WHR more than 0.90 and waist circumference more than 90cm, were selected from the outpatient clinic of Gynecological Department, Faculty of Medicine, Cairo University. They were assigned into two equal Groups (A & B), each of them consisted of 15 participants. Participants of Group (A) received electrolipolysis on the abdominal area and follow an exercise program and low-calorie diet for three consecutive months. While, partic-ipants of Group (B) followed the same exercise program and low-calorie diet for three consecutive months. Evaluation was done for both groups before and after treatment, to evaluate the body weight, waist circumference, waist hip ratio, body fat composition, lipid profile and abdominal fat thickness. Results of the study revealed a significant improvement in all measuring variables for both groups following treatment. On comparing results of both groups after treatment, the results revealed a statistically significant (p<0.05) decrease in weight, waist circumference, waist hip ratio, body mass index, triglyceride and low density lipoprotein with statistically significant increase in high density lipoprotein favoring Group (A). Also, there was statistically highly significant (p<0.01) decrease in fat weight, cholesterol and abdominal fat thickness favoring Group (A). The results of this study testified that the combination of electrolipolysisis and exercise is charac-terized by a higher efficiency than a low-calorie diet alone on reducing central obesity and improving lipid profile in premenopausal obese women.
