Ultrasonic Cavitation on Abdominal Obesity in Adolescent Females

Study Overview
=================
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.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Experimental: ultra-sound<br>ultrasonic cavitation applied on abdominal region for 30 minutes, 2 times per week for 6 weeks. | Other: low caloric diet<br>* A low-calorie diet is a structured eating plan that restricts daily caloric intake, commonly for weight loss. Following a low-calorie diet typically means consuming around 1,200 to 1,500 calories per day, which creates a calorie deficit that can lead to weight loss. A low-calorie diet can be effective, but it requires a lot of discipline to work and be safe.<br>|
| Experimental: aerobic exercise<br>aerobic exercises through treadmill (60-70% of VO2 max.) for 30 minutes, 2 times per week for 6 weeks | Other: low caloric diet<br>* A low-calorie diet is a structured eating plan that restricts daily caloric intake, commonly for weight loss.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Bioelectrical impedance analysis | 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 | 6 weeks | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| skin fold caliper | was used to measure the waist circumference and amount of subcutaneous fat when the fold for all females in both groups (A&B) | 6 weeks |
