Objectives: Sedentary lifestyles promote adipose tissue accumulation that generates systemic inflammation and oxidative damage. Physical activity induces cardiovascular fitness, increases muscle mass, and healthy blood glucose regulation, while reducing visceral fat, triglycerides and low-density lipoproteins. It is theoretically possible to develop a long-term multi-exercise regimen for health management and enhancement. Pragmatically, time and career restraints, individual choices, genetic factors, or demoralization due to the draconian commitment involved in weight loss, have rendered over a billion of
Introduction: individuals obese, or overweight, burdened by excess lipids, insulin resistance, elevated glucose levels, and inflammation, that foster a number of medical conditions including diabetes. individuals obese, or overweight, burdened by excess lipids, insulin resistance, elevated glucose levels, and inflammation, that foster a number of medical conditions including diabetes.
Materials / method: Twenty obese and overweight adults, 15 - 82 years, with an average BMI of 35.41, eleven females and nine males, with either a diabetic or prediabetic condition, participated and completed the study, after they signed a consent form. Fifteen of the subjects were of Indian descent and five of them were Caucasian. Selection was made by randomly selecting medical history files from two different clinics and making sure that the participants fulfilled both the inclusion and exclusion criteria:
Results: Results were analysed with the t test for dependent means (Table 6). Results for overall fat loss were statistically significant at p < 0.00001; with a mean of −7.25, a square deviation of 245.69, a T value of t = −9.01646. Results for visceral fat reduction were also highly statistically significant at p < 0.00001; with a mean of −4.88, a square deviation of 94.11, a T value of t= −9.805937. The results of skeletal muscle mass (SMM) increase were statistically significant at p < 0.001; with a mean of +5.18, a square deviation of 7.63, a T value of t = +8.387633 and a p value of p < 0.00055.
Conclusion: Results demonstrated a significant improvement in blood glucose regulation and insulin resistance, along with reduced dyslipidemia, reflecting an optimal reverse relationship of elevated HDL versus triglycerides descending towards the normal range. The substantial reduction of visceral fat was supported by the cm loss around the umbilicus and lower abdomen which represent the body areas where visceral adiposity accumulates; it was also confirmed by the sonography reports of seven subjects diagnosed with hepatic steatosis who presented evidence of no fatty liver after the twelve treatments.
