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 COMPARATORWALK. 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
Hula-hooping
ACTIVE COMPARATORHULA. 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

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- age between 18 and 70 years

- ability to hula-hoop for a minimum of 2 minutes and to have the necessary space available for this activity either at home or at work
- ability to communicate meaningfully with the investigator and legal competence to provide written informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- clinical or biochemical evidence of disease other than obesity as judged by history, physical examination and standard laboratory tests
- excessive use of alcohol, i.e., over 20 g/day
