Effect of Aerobic Exercise During Ramadan Fasting on Lipid Profile
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 11
Abstract
Background: The major religious period of the Islamic calendar is Ramadan when many millions of Muslims fast throughout the daylight hours. Research indicated that fasting in Ramadan can cause changes in body component. Purpose: to investigate the effect of strict prolonged fasting combined with aerobic exercises on body composition, and lipid profile in normal subjects. Design: a pre-test post-test design. Methods: 50 subjects of both genders, aging from 35-45 years and BMI from 30 to 34.9 kg/m2 participated in this study. Subjects were assigned into 2 groups; group (A) 25 subjects received moderate intensity aerobic exercise during Ramadan fasting while group (B) 25 subjects were fast only. Body composition (Weight, BMI and W/H ratio) and serum lipid profile (TC, TG, LDL and HDL) were determined at 24h before and the last day of Ramadan month Results: moderate intensity aerobic exercise and fasting in group A had a considerable effect on body composition and lipid profile. While in group B fasting alone had no considerable effect on W/H ratio and HDL. Conclusion: Interaction between fasting and aerobic exercise was not considerable, except on W/H ratio and HDL which didn't decreased due to fasting only.
