Effect of Ultrasound Cavitation Versus Whole Body Vibration on Abdominal Fat in Obese Adolescent Females

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

Conditions

• Abdominal Obesity

Interventions

DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Low caloric diet

Low caloric diet: the participants will receive low caloric diet program (1500 Kcal/ day) for 6 weeks as follows: 45% carbohydrate, 20% fat and 35% proteins of total calorie intake.

DEVICE

Ultrasound cavitation

Ultrasound cavitation + Low caloric diet Low caloric diet program (1500 Kcal/ day): for 6 weeks. Ultrasound cavitation: It will be on abdomen for 30 minutes/session, 2 sessions/week for 6 weeks as follows: * The participants will be in supine lying position and the abdomen is divided into two sides right and left from the midline. * The Ultrasound pulsed waves will be set with power input (AC100/ 240V), frequency (40 KHz), and Power output (45W). This will be for 15 minutes on each abdominal side.

DEVICE

Whole body vibration

Whole body vibration + Low caloric diet Low caloric diet program (1500 Kcal/ day) for 6 weeks. Whole body vibration: for 30 minutes/session, 2 sessions/week for 6 weeks as follows: * The participants will begin with a brief warm-up for 5 minutes by doing deep breathing exercises. * Then they will stand with feet shoulder-width apart on the platform while holding handrails to maintain balance and stability. They will be instructed to relax and allow the vibrations to pass through her body. This will be applied for 20 minutes per session. * The vibration will be started with lower settings and gradually will be increased till the desired frequency and amplitude (45 HZ) will be reached. * After the session will be completed, the participant will be instructed to cool down gradually by doing deep breathing for 5 minutes to help their body to return to a resting state. They will be advised to drink plenty of water to be hydrated and recovered after the WBV session.
