Abdominal fat is associated with metabolic disorders, leading to cardiovascular risk factors and numerous diseases. This study aimed to analyze the effect of plaster body wrap in combination with aerobic exercise on abdominal fat.
Nineteen female volunteers were randomly divided into intervention group (IG; = 10) performing aerobic exercise with plaster body wrap, and control group (CG; = 9) performing only exercise. Subcutaneous and visceral fat were measured using ultrasound; subcutaneous fat was also estimated on analysis of skinfolds and abdominal perimeters.
At the end of the 10-sessions protocol, the IG demonstrated a significant decrease ( ≤ 0.05) in subcutaneous fat at the left anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) level and in iliac crest perimeter measurements. A large intervention effect size strength (0.80) was found in subcutaneous fat below the navel and a moderate effect size strength on the vertical abdominal skinfold (0.62) and the perimeter of the most prominent abdominal point (0.57). Comparing the initial and final data of each group, the IG showed a significant decrease in numerous variables including visceral and subcutaneous fat above and below the navel measured by ultrasound ( ≤ 0.05).
Plaster body wrap in combination with aerobic exercise seems to be effective for abdominal fat reduction.
腹部脂肪与代谢紊乱相关，会导致心血管危险因素及多种疾病。本研究旨在分析石膏身体包裹结合有氧运动对腹部脂肪的影响。
19名女性志愿者被随机分为干预组（IG；n = 10），进行石膏身体包裹结合有氧运动，以及对照组（CG；n = 9），仅进行运动。使用超声测量皮下和内脏脂肪；还通过皮褶和腹围分析估算皮下脂肪。
在为期10节的方案结束时，干预组在左髂前上棘（ASIS）水平的皮下脂肪和髂嵴周长测量中显示出显著降低（P≤0.05）。在脐下皮下脂肪中发现较大的干预效应量强度（0.80），在垂直腹皮褶（0.62）和最突出腹部点的周长（0.57）上有中等效应量强度。比较每组的初始和最终数据，干预组在包括超声测量的脐上下内脏和皮下脂肪在内的众多变量中显示出显著降低（P≤0.05）。
石膏身体包裹结合有氧运动似乎对减少腹部脂肪有效。
