Journal Title: International Journal of Experimental Research and Review - Year 2024, Vol 46, Issue 10
Abstract
Obesity is one of the greatest public health challenges of the 21st century. In India, about 30-65% of urban adults are obese. The aim of this study was to investigate neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) markers as a therapeutic tool in diagnosing the effectiveness of exercise intervention in obesity at different levels in obese Class I and Class II male subjects. This randomized controlled study was conducted in the physiotherapy outpatient department of Madha Hospital, Kovur, Chennai. The study duration was 12 weeks. The sample of 30 men was divided into the class I obese men group, 15 nos, and the class II obese men group, 15 numbers. The subjects of age between 18-50 years were included in the study. The Class III Obese men associated with co-morbidities were excluded in this study. The data of Randomized controlled study include anthropometric measurements like height, weight, BMI, Hip circumference, Waist circumference, Thigh circumference, Waist to Height ratio, Waist to Hip ratio, Waist to Thigh ratio, Sagittal abdominal diameter, Abdominal Skin fold thickness, Thigh skin fold thickness and NMES markers. Paired t-test analysis was done. SPSS 20 version was used to analyze the collected data. The result was presented as mean and standard deviation. There was a significant difference in mean values at P?0.005 between different levels of study duration Class I and Class II obese men with neuromuscular electrical stimulator markers (NMES) as a Diagnostic tool. Thus, this study concludes that the NMES marker can be used as a therapeutic tool to analyze obesity.
