Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ultrasonic cavitation on abdominal obesity in females. Fifty volunteer females with abdominal obesity participated in the study.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of ultrasonic cavitation on abdominal obesity in adolescent females. Fifty volunteer females with abdominal obesity participated in the study.

Group (A) consisted of 25 females who treated by ultrasonic cavitation on abdominal region for 30 minutes and aerobic exercises for 30 minutes, 2 times per week for 6 weeks ; group (B) consisted of 25 females who performed aerobic exercise and low caloric diet.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
ultra-sound	low caloric diet	ultrasonic cavitation applied on abdominal region for 30 minutes, 2 times per week for 6 weeks.
aerobic exercise	low caloric diet	aerobic exercises through treadmill (60-70% of VO2 max.) for 30 minutes, 2 times per week for 6 weeks

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Bioelectrical impedance analysis	6 weeks	was used to estimate body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle in both groups A and B

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
skin fold caliper	6 weeks	was used to measure the waist circumference and amount of subcutaneous fat when the fold for all females in both groups (A\&B)
