BACKGROUND: Abdominal fat is associated with metabolic disorders, leading to
cardiovascular risk factors and numerous diseases. This study aimed to analyze
the effect of plaster body wrap in combination with aerobic exercise on abdominal
fat. METHODS: Nineteen female volunteers were randomly divided into intervention
group (IG; n = 10) performing aerobic exercise with plaster body wrap, and
control group (CG; n = 9) performing only exercise. Subcutaneous and visceral fat
were measured using ultrasound; subcutaneous fat was also estimated on analysis
of skinfolds and abdominal perimeters. RESULTS: At the end of the 10-sessions
protocol, the IG demonstrated a significant decrease (p ? 0.05) in subcutaneous
fat at the left anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) level and in iliac crest
perimeter measurements. A large intervention effect size strength (0.80) was
found in subcutaneous fat below the navel and a moderate effect size strength on
the vertical abdominal skinfold (0.62) and the perimeter of the most prominent
abdominal point (0.57). Comparing the initial and final data of each group, the
IG showed a significant decrease in numerous variables including visceral and
subcutaneous fat above and below the navel measured by ultrasound (p ? 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Plaster body wrap in combination with aerobic exercise seems to be
effective for abdominal fat reduction.
