The problem of overweight (obesity) is steadily increasing. |
Aim. To evaluate the effectiveness of a new comprehensive rehabilitation program on the dynamics of weight and body composition indicators using different methods after the rehabilitation stage and long-term results. |
Material and methods. Men and women aged 40 to 65 years with a body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m2 were included in the study. The patients were further divided into two groups by simple randomisation. Both groups underwent two weeks of medical rehabilitation |
on a low-calorie diet. The patients of the main group (group 1) received 4 methods of therapeutic physical exercises. Patients in the comparison group (group 2) were treated only with aerobic exercise and therapeutic gymnastics. A dynamic observation was carried out immediately after the course, after 3 and 6 months. |
Results and discussion. According to the data obtained, there was a significant reduction in body weight in both groups after completion of the treatment phase, p=0.0001. There was a significant reduction in abdominal fat thickness after 14 days, 3 and 6 months in the main group (from 67.5[50.0;77.5] to 56.0[50.0;68.0]... |
Conclusion. A new comprehensive program including aerobic and strength training, kinesohydrotherapy and balance therapy combined with a low-calorie diet showed more significant effects on weight loss, reduction in the thickness of fatty folds and changes |
in body composition, including at long-term follow-up, than the standard method of rehabilitation.Effect of irrelevant differences as a function of the relations between relevant and irrelevant dimensions in the same-different task. |
