Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Android obesity

    The primary objective was to evaluate the change in the % fat in the android region as measured by DEXA during 6 weeks of HULA as compared to WALK

    6weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • metabolic parameters

    6weeks

Other Outcomes (1)

  • adipose tissue inflammation

    6weeks

Study Arms (2)

Walking

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

WALK. The participants were instructed to walk daily, at first week 12minutes/day, week II 16mins/day, week III 20mins/day, week IV 24 mins/day, week V 28mins/day, week VI 32mins/day at a pace that would moderately increase heart rate and result in sweating

Other: Exercise

Hula-hooping

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

HULA. The participants were instructed to hula hoop daily, at first week 6minutes/day, week II 8mins/day, week III 10mins/day, week IV 12 mins/day, week V 14mins/day, week VI 16mins/day

Other: Exercise

Interventions
