Abstract

Goals: Study and comparison between the effects of walking and the electrical motivation on body fat burning and weight loss.

Methodology: The samples were elected among the volunteer healthy females (20-40 years) with an index rate (20 ≤ BMI ≤ 30) provided that they had no regular active exercise activity and they were classified randomly to 2 teams in this quasi-experimental research. The electrical stimulation was used for one group in 1 year each week up to eight, and the period of 40-60 min per session on intestinal muscles. The plan of the group with aerobic exercise included 40-60 min walking with an intensity of the stored heart rate (50-70%) within the similar period. The parameters of BMI, rate of body fact, and LBM were measured at the start and at terminal of study on weight. The given data are investigated via using of t- independent and correlation t-test at level (p≤ 0.05).

The parameters of BMI, rate of body fact, and LBM were measured at the start and at terminal of study on weight.

Findings: Weight, Body Mass Index (BMI), and body fat percentage were significantly reduced and also the LBM parameter was enhanced in 2 teams.

Conclusion: Walking and electrical stimulation similarly caused to decrease in weight, BMI, body fat percentage, and enhance in lean body mass factor (LBM).
