Abstract The aim of the study was to determine and compare between the effects of abdominal muscles exercises versus whole body vibration on abdominal fat thickness in post-natal period. Intervention: This is a therapeutic intervention. Subjects: Forty females in postnatal period they were divided randomly according to closed envelope into 2 equal groups. group A: received abdominal muscle exercise, group B: received whole body vibration. Results: After 8 weeks of treatment, both groups recorded a statistical significant decrease in weight, BMI, WHR and subcutaneous fat thickness when compared with their corresponding values measured at pretreatment. But (group B) showed more decrease in all variables than (group A). Conclusions: Results of the current study revealed that both whole body vibration and abdominal muscle exercise with diet for 8 weeks lead to decrease abdominal fat thickness. Eventually the whole body vibration was more helpful than the abdominal muscle exercise on reducing abdominal fat thickness |
