Summary

This study aims to determine the differences between the effect of ultrasound cavitation and whole-body vibration on abdominal fat in obese adolescent females

Detailed description

Adolescence is a critical time associated with the development of obesity. About 80% of adolescents with obesity will continue to have this condition as an adult. Obesity during adolescence is associated with a number of short- and long-term diseases including hypertension, diabetes mellitus type 2, hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, psychological distress and future cardiovascular complications. The investigators showed that there is an increasing demand for non-surgical procedures in the management of obesity that led to the development of non-invasive techniques for reducing localized subcutaneous adipose tissue. One of these techniques is focused ultrasound cavitation. Research studies showed some benefits in the treatment of excess abdominal fat deposits with reduction in fat circumference without significant side effects. Also, another non-invasive technique is whole body vibration (WBV). Some studies showed that when it is combined with dietary intervention leads to body weight reduction and improvement of overall body composition and fat reduction including abdominal fat Both ultrasound cavitation (UC) and whole-body vibration (WBV) are non-invasive modalities with many positive effects on abdominal fat in obese adolescent females. The effect of both the UC and WBV has been separately investigated in previous studies. Though, no studies were found to compare the effect of both modalities in the management of abdominal fat in obese adolescent females. Therefore, this study will be conducted to explore the effect of UC versus WBV on abdominal fat in obese adolescent females.

Conditions

• Abdominal Obesity

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT	Low caloric diet	Low caloric diet: the participants will receive low caloric diet program (1500 Kcal/ day) for 6 weeks as follows: 45% carbohydrate, 20% fat and 35% proteins of total calorie intake.
DEVICE	Ultrasound cavitation	Ultrasound cavitation + Low caloric diet Low caloric diet program (1500 Kcal/ day): for 6 weeks. Ultrasound cavitation: It will be on abdomen for 30 minutes/session, 2 sessions/week for 6 weeks as follows: * The participants will be in supine lying position and the abdomen is divided into two sides right and left from the midline. * The Ultrasound pulsed waves will be set with power input (AC100/ 240V), frequency (40 KHz), and Power output (45W). This will be for 15 minutes on each abdominal side.
DEVICE	Whole body vibration	Whole body vibration + Low caloric diet Low caloric diet program (1500 Kcal/ day) for 6 weeks. Whole body vibration: for 30 minutes/session, 2 sessions/week for 6 weeks as follows: * The participants will begin with a brief warm-up for 5 minutes by doing deep breathing exercises. * Then they will stand with feet shoulder-width apart on the platform while holding handrails to maintain balance and stability. They will be instructed to relax and allow the vibrations to pass through her body. This will be applied for 20 minutes per session. * The vibration will be started with lower settings and gradually will be increased till the desired frequency and amplitude (45 HZ) will be reached. * After the session will be completed, the participant will be instructed to cool down gradually by doing deep breathing for 5 minutes to help their body to return to a resting state. They will be advised to drink plenty of water to be hydrated and recovered after the WBV session.
