Abstract
Objective: To determine the effect of different aerobic exercise duration combined with Mediterranean diet on im-proving dyslipidemia of the metabolic syndrome in obese women.
Material and Methods: Forty obese sedentary women considered as metabolic syndrome patients participated in this study, their ages ranged from 45-65 years old. They were divided into two groups, a study group which include 30 obese women who received the therapeutic intervention which included mediterranean diet and walking training program with different duration, 10 of them walked for 20 minutes, the other 10 walked for 30 minutes, and the remaining 10 walked for 40 minutes for 8 weeks at a frequency of 3 sessions per week, and control group which include10 obese women who followed mediterranean diet only for 8 weeks at a fre-quency of 3 sessions per week. Both groups were assessed pre and post treatment for WHR, BMI, LDL, HDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides level.
Results: There was significant deference between both groups as follow, there was a significant improvement in post treatment body weight, BMI, total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL and WHR respectively in study Group A by (7.34%), (7.36%), (13.71%), (22.36%), (40.37%), (11.16%), (7.34%) and in study Group B by (13.52%), (13.41%), (17.4%), (34.67%), (40.37%), (25.55%), (9.41 %), and in study Group C by (15.07%), (14.88%), (23.69%), (65.37%), (39.57%), (30.06%), (8.43%), compared with control group which showed (3.74%), (3.6%), (5.04%), (5.42%), (7.08%), (5.03%), (2.35%).
Conclusion: It was concluded that the walking training program of higher duration (<30 minutes) combined with mediterranean diet has significant effect on dyslipidemia in obese women with metabolic syndrome.
