Effect of Rebound Exercises in Overweight Individuals on Bmi, Waist- Hip Ratio and Lung Functions : Randomized Control Trial
Keywords:
Rebound Exercises, Overweight Individuals, BMI, Lung Functions.Abstract
Background: Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that presents a risk to health. Overweight and obesity is commonly assessed by using Body Mass Index (BMI), and waist hip ratio. Therapies like pharmacotherapy, aquatic therapy, aerobic exercises, and aerobic exercises along with diet therapy have proven to be beneficial in weight loss interventions. Also it is been proved that there is a inverse relationship in between overweight/ obesity and BMI, Waist – hip ratio and lung functions. One of the therapy is the Rebound therapy. Trampoline is easily used in conjunction with balls and wedges to produce more dynamic effects.
Aim: To compare the effects of Rebound Exercises along with Diet protocol with Diet protocol alone in overweight individuals in terms of: BMI, Waist hip ratio, Lung function : FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC ratio.
Material and methodology: 64 consenting participants fulfilling the selection criteria were included. All the subjects were evaluated on outcome measures like BMI, Waist –hip ratio and lung functions before and post 4 weeks of intervention. Participants were randomly allocated in 2 groups. Group A followed only diet protocol and Group B received Rebound exercises along with diet protocol. The data was collected and analysed. Paired t test was used for inter- group comparison and unpaired t test was used for intra –group comparison.
Results: Statistical significant improvement was seen in BMI, waist circumference, FEV1 and FVC with p<0.05 in both the groups. There was no significant difference in between the groups in terms of BMI, waist –hip ratio and lung functions.
Conclusion: The study concludes that Diet protocol with Rebound exercises was equally effective than Diet protocol alone in reducing weight in overweight adolescent population in terms of BMI, waist circumference and improving lung functions in terms of FEV1 and FVC after four weeks of intervention.
