Abstract

Background: The effect of water exercise on weight-loss parameters is still controversial. We aimed to explore the effect of WATERinMOTION (WiM) aquatic exercise on weight loss and metabolic profiles in sedentary obese elderly men. Methods: Sixty-one sedentary older men, who came to the Ukrainian Sports Medicine Center for a weight-loss consultation, voluntarily took part in this cross-sectional study (Kyiv, summer 2019). The participants were selected using convenient sampling and allocated randomly to two groups: WiM (n=31) or a control group (n=30). Meanwhile, the WiM group performed the WiM exercise plan with two weekly sessions of 55 minutes each. The control subjects did not participate in any physical exercise. They were asked to perform their routine activities during the study. This study lasted for one month. Anthropometric indices (height, weight, and waist circumference) and metabolic profile assessment (glycemia and lipid profiles) were obtained at baseline and after the study. Results: No significant differences were found in any of the analyzed parameters. Pre- and post-study comparison showed a significant reduction in weight (-1.8, P = 0.003) and mean BMI (-0.7, P = 0.004) in the WiM group. Furthermore, a significant difference was found only in weight after the study (P = 0.002). Conclusion: The WiM plan, without dietetic intervention, had a positive influence on weight, waist circumference, and metabolic profiles in sedentary obese elderly men.

WATERinMOTION (WiM)水上运动对久坐肥胖老年男性减肥和代谢的影响

背景:水上运动对减肥参数的影响仍存在争议。我们的目的是探讨WATERinMOTION (WiM)水上运动对久坐肥胖老年男性体重减轻和代谢谱的影响。方法:61名久坐不动的老年男性自愿参加了这项横断面研究(基辅，2019年夏季)，他们来到乌克兰运动医学中心进行减肥咨询。采用方便抽样的方法选择参与者，随机分为两组:WiM组(n=31)和对照组(n=30)。与此同时，WiM组执行WiM锻炼计划，每周两次，每次55分钟。对照组不参加任何体育锻炼。他们被要求在研究期间进行日常活动。这项研究持续了一个月。在基线和研究结束后获得人体测量指数(身高、体重和腰围)和代谢谱评估(血糖和脂质谱)。结果:各分析参数无显著性差异。研究前后比较显示，WiM组体重(-1.8,P = 0.003)和平均BMI (-0.7, P = 0.004)显著降低。此外，研究结束后，只有体重有显著差异(P = 0.002)。结论:在没有饮食干预的情况下，WiM计划对久坐肥胖老年男性的体重、腰围和代谢谱有积极影响。
