Abstract
his study was conducted to investigate the effect of exercise on body fat composition in non-lactating and lactating women. Twenty non-lactating and twenty lactating women were participated in this study, their ages ranged between 25-35 years old and BMI was 25- 30 kg/ m2. They received aerobic exercise 3 times per week for 30 min. for 4 weeks. BMI, waist circumference, body fat composition and prolactin level were assessed for all participants before and after the study. Results revealed that the non-lactating and lactating women showed highly significant decrease in BMI. (P = 0.002 & P = 0.00), waist circumference (P = 0.000 & P = 0.003) and fat composition (P = 0.000 & P = 0.00) and highly significant increase in prolactin level (P = 0.00 &P = 0.001) respectively. Comparison between groups showed no significant difference in BMI.(P = 0.313) , highly significant decrease in waist circumference (P =0.00) , significant decrease in fat composition (P = 0.001) favoring group A (non-lactating women). Conclusion: It could be concluded that aerobic exercise can be used to decrease waist circumference and body fat composition in non-lactating as well as in lactating women without any adverse effect on their ability for lactation
