Effect of Aerobic and Resisted Exercise on Lipid Profile and Quality of Life in Overweight Breastfeeding Women

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Postpartum Weight Retention

• Registration Number: NCT06098638
• Lead Sponsor: Cairo University

Brief Summary

the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of aerobic and resisted exercise program on lipid profile and quality of life in overweight breastfeeding women.

Detailed Description

Although previous studies reported that exercise training during the postpartum period could improve the lipid profile and quality of life in overweight women and reduce the postpartum fatigue . None of them had investigated the effect of aerobic and resisted exercises on lipid profile and quality of life in overweight breastfeeding women.this trial will include 2 groups:

Group (A): was consist of 27 overweight breastfeeding women, who received nutritional recommendation and faradic current stimulation for 20 min on abdominal surface 2 times per week for 12 weeks.

Group (B): was consist of 27 overweight breastfeeding women, who received the same nutritional recommendation and faradic current stimulation for 20 min on abdominal surface 2 times per week plus exercise training (aerobic + resisted) for 12 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
measurement of lipid parameter level of High-density lipoprotein (HDL) mg/dL	12 weeks	It was used to measure the lipid profile parameters (High-density lipoprotein (HDL)- level in for each woman in the both groups (A \& B) at pre-treatment and post-treatment.
measurement of Triglycerides (TG) mg/dL	12 weeks	t was used to measure the lipid profile parameters Triglycerides (TG) level for each woman in the both groups (A \& B) at pre-treatment and post-treatment.
measurement of Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) mg/dL	12 weeks	It was used to measure the lipid profile parameters Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level for each woman in the both groups (A \& B) at pre-treatment and post-treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
calculation of score of Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) (Arabic version):	12 weeks	It was assessed using the SF-36 (Arabic version) questionnaire in both groups (A \& B) before and after treatment, which consists of 36 questions. Answers were awarded a score in a five-point scale (0-4).Scores for each of the dimensions range from 0 (worst level of functioning) to 4 (best level of functioning)
