Summary:
This study aims to determine the differences between the effect of ultrasound cavitation and whole-body vibration on abdominal fat in obese adolescent females

Primary Outcome Measures: Weight, Within 6 weeks|BMI, Weight/ height scale will be used to measure the weight and height of all females in all groups to calculate their BMI before and after treatment according to the following equation BMI = weight/ height² (kg/m²), Within 6 weeks|Waist circumference, It is a measurement taken around the waist at the level of the narrowest part of the torso, typically located between the bottom of the rib cage and the top of the hip bones (iliac crest). It is used as an indicator of central obesity. However, as a general guideline, a waist circumference of over 35 inches (88 cm) in women is often considered high and indicative of an increased health risk ., Within 6 weeks|Waist to hip ratio (WHR), Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is a measurement that compares the circumference of the waist to that of the hips. The waist circumference is measured at the narrowest point of the torso, usually just above the belly button (umbilicus), and the hip circumference is measured at the widest part, 9 around the buttocks at level of greater trochanters; then dividing the waist circumference by the hip circumference. The formula is as follows: WHR = Waist Circumference / Hip Circumference. For women, a WHR above 0.85 is often considered high and indicative of an increased health risk., Within 6 weeks|Abdominal skinfold thickness, Abdominal skinfold thickness is a specific measurement used to estimate the amount of subcutaneous fat in that area. It provides insights into the distribution of fat in the abdominal region. The measurement is typically taken at a site approximately 2 cm to the right side of the belly button, and the skinfold is pinched with calipers to measure the thickness. The measurement process involves firmly grasping the skin and underlying fat tissue with the calipers, ensuring that only the skin and fat are included in the measurement and not muscle or other tissues. The measurement is recorded in millimeters (mm), Within 6 weeks|Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), In BIA, a small, safe electrical current is passed through the body using electrodes typically placed on the hands and feet. The electrical current encounters resistance from tissues with lower water content, such as fat and bone, while it easily passes through tissues with higher water content, such as muscle. By measuring the impedance (resistance and reactance) of the electrical current, BIA devices can estimate body composition parameters such as body fat percentage, lean body mass, and hydration levels. BIA can provide a quick and non-invasive estimation of body composition. Also, it is a useful tool for tracking changes in body composition over time and monitoring progress in fitness or weight loss programs., Within 6 weeks
