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.

Detailed Description

Although previous studies reported that exercise training during the postpartum period could improve the lipid profile and quality of life in overweight women and reduce the postpartum fatigue . None of them had investigated the effect of aerobic and resisted exercises on lipid profile and quality of life in overweight breastfeeding women.this trial will include 2 groups:

Group (A): was consist of 27 overweight breastfeeding women, who received nutritional recommendation and faradic current stimulation for 20 min on abdominal surface 2 times per week for 12 weeks.

Group (B): was consist of 27 overweight breastfeeding women, who received the same nutritional recommendation and faradic current stimulation for 20 min on abdominal surface 2 times per week plus exercise training (aerobic + resisted) for 12 weeks.

Conditions

Postpartum Weight Retention

Study Groups

control group

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

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Nutritional recommendation and Faradic stimulation program

Intervention Type: 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

exercise group

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.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Nutritional recommendation and Faradic stimulation program

Intervention Type: 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

aerobic and resisted exercise for 12 weeks

Intervention Type: 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
