Abstract The aim of this study was to show the difference of the whole body vibration and aerobic training on liver function in obese adult women. Subject and Methods: Forty adult obese women were enrolled in this study, their age ranged from 35 - 45 years with body mass index (BMI) between 30 – 34.9 kg/m2 and were assigned randomly into two groups of equal number (A and B). group (A) included 20 obese adult women who received diet advices and aerobic training in form of treadmill training while group (B) included 20 obese adult women who received the same diet advices of group (A) and whole body vibration. The participated subjects in this study were assessed by liver function tests (Alanine transaminase (ALT) (SGPT), Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (SGOT), Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) and Bilirubin) and anthropometric measurements (body circumferences (waist and hip) and waist/hip ratio). They were evaluated before and after the treatment program about three sessions per week for eight weeks. Results: The obtained results revealed significant differences of all measured variables before and after treatment in the two groups. Statistical significant difference was also found in post-treatment values of all measured variables when compared between the two groups in favor of group (A). Conclusion: Aerobic training in form of treadmill training and whole body vibration exercise can be added to the physical therapy program and aerobic training was more effective than whole body vibration exercise in enhancing liver function in obese adult women. |
