Abstract

The global rise in obesity necessitates effective interventions, particularly for women, who often face unique challenges. This study investigates the comparative effects of low-impact aerobic exercise and Pilates on body fat percentage reduction in obese women, considering the moderating role of age. A quantitative experimental design with pre- and post-tests was employed, involving 40 obese women recruited through purposive sampling. Participants engaged in either low-impact aerobic exercise or Pilates for eight weeks, with body fat percentage measured using skinfold calipers. Two-way ANOVA was used to analyze the data, revealing significant differences between exercise types and age groups. Low-impact aerobics demonstrated a greater reduction in body fat percentage compared to Pilates. Adolescents experienced a more pronounced reduction with aerobics, while adults benefited more from Pilates. These findings highlight the importance of tailoring exercise interventions to age-specific needs. Furthermore, social intelligence, motivation, adherence, and social support were identified as crucial factors in program success. This study underscores the potential of integrating social and psychological elements into physiotherapy practices to enhance weight management outcomes in obese women. The results provide valuable insights for designing targeted exercise programs that consider both physical and social-emotional factors.

Abstract

Waist circumference is a method used to determine central obesity, which is a condition of excess fat accumulation in the abdominal area, resulting in abnormal waist circumference in women >80 cm and men >90 cm. This study aims to determine the difference in effectiveness between prone plank exercise and bicycle crunch exercise in reducing waist circumference in adolescents. The research method used a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest two-group design. The sample consisted of 24 participants, divided into Group I (prone plank exercise) and Group II (bicycle crunch exercise), with each group consisting of 12 participants. Both groups underwent exercise therapy for 4 weeks, with a frequency of 5 times per week, with an intensity of 30 seconds per set, repeated 3 times. The measurement tool used was a calibrated midline. The results showed that Group I (prone plank exercise) experienced a reduction in waist circumference of 5.75 cm, while Group II (bicycle crunch exercise) had a reduction of 7.91 cm, indicating that both exercise therapies have an effect on waist circumference reduction. The difference test between groups resulted in p>0.05 (p=0.747), meaning there is no significant difference between the two exercise types.
