Brief Summary

the aim of the study was to investigate the effect of aerobic and resisted exercise program on lipid profile and quality of life in overweight breastfeeding women.

Conditions

Postpartum Weight Retention

Keywords

exercise; breastfeeding; Overweight; lipid; life quality

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• measurement of lipid parameter level of High-density lipoprotein (HDL) mg/dL

  It was used to measure the lipid profile parameters (High-density lipoprotein (HDL)- level in for each woman in the both groups (A \& B) at pre-treatment and post-treatment.

  12 weeks

• measurement of Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) mg/dL

  It was used to measure the lipid profile parameters Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level for each woman in the both groups (A \& B) at pre-treatment and post-treatment.

  12 weeks

• measurement of Triglycerides (TG) mg/dL

  t was used to measure the lipid profile parameters Triglycerides (TG) level for each woman in the both groups (A \& B) at pre-treatment and post-treatment.

  12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• calculation of score of Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) (Arabic version):

  12 weeks

Other Outcomes (2)

• body mass index (BMI) kg/m²

  12 weeks

• waist to hip ratio (W/H ratio)

control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Group (A) included 27 overweight breastfeeding woman who received nutritional recommendation and faradic current stimulation on the abdominal surface for 12 weeks, while group

Other: Nutritional recommendation and Faradic stimulation program

exercise group

EXPERIMENTAL

Group (B) 27 overweight breastfeeding women, who received the same nutritional recommendation and faradic current stimulation on the abdominal surface plus exercise training (aerobic + resisted) for 12 weeks.

Other: Nutritional recommendation and Faradic stimulation program; Other: aerobic and resisted exercise for 12 weeks

Interventions

Nutritional recommendation and Faradic stimulation program OTHER

proper maternal nutrition and fluid intake during breast-feeding per day for 12 weeks and2 sessions per week, each session 20 minutes, for 12 weeks. Frequency of 65 Hz, and width pulse 300 ms, with contraction time 10 sec and relaxation time 10 sec

control group; exercise group

aerobic and resisted exercise for 12 weeks OTHER

Each woman in group (B) participated in a moderate exercise program (aerobic+resistive), 3 days/week, for 12 weeks. The session began with 15 minutes of aerobic exercise on a bicycle ergometer, at 60% of heart rate reserve (HRR), with HRR estimated (220-age-resting heart rate). Then, the participant was performed 15 minutes of resistive exercise (two sets of 8-12 repetitions at 75% of one repetition maximum (1-RM) for basic core exercises in the form of hip lifts, knee extension and flexion, crunches, shoulder flexion and extension, elbow flexion and extension with resistance
