Articles : Effect of Different Exercise Training Types on Abdominal Fat Distribution by Computed Tomography in Middle Aged Women
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of different type of exercise training on the volume of the visceral and the abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue in middle aged women. To achieve this goal, 81 healthy-middle aged women (mean 45.58 ±6.36yrs) were participated in this study and divided into non-exercise group (n = 33), aerobic exercise group (n = 20) and combined exercise group (n = 28) according to their exercise type. The visceral and abdominal subcutaneous fat volume determined from standard computed tomography (CT) images from the level of lumbar 1 to 10cm upward. Regular aerobic exercise group has a lower VSR and VWR than those of non-exercise group and aerobic exercise group, where no significant difference was observed in height, weight, BMI, and WHR. Visceral fat and total abdominal fat volume were more smaller in aerobic exercise group than other groups (p < .05). Visceral fat volume were positively correlated with VSR (r = 0.73), BMI (r = 0.72), and waist circumference (r = 0.69. p < .01).In conclusion, It seems that aerobic exercise training is more effective tool to prevent the visceral fat accumulation than combined exercise in middle aged women.
Key Words: visceral fat, abdominal subcutaneous fat, exercise, CT, computed tomography
