Abstract

Background: Breastfeeding provides benefits for both mothers and babies. However, many women experience postpartum weight gain, unfavorable lipid profiles, and other postpartum problems that can adversely impact their overall quality of life (QoL).

Objective: To examine the effect of adding aerobic and resistive exercise to faradic stimulation and nutritional counseling on lipid profile and QoL in overweight breastfeeding women.

Subjects and methods: Fifty-four breastfeeding women were randomly allocated into two equally sized groups. Group A underwent abdominal faradic stimulation along with nutritional counseling for 12 weeks, whereas Group B received identical faradic stimulation and nutritional counseling and engaged in a combined aerobic and resistive exercise program for the same duration. Before and after treatment, the following anthropometric measurements were evaluated: body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (W/H); lipid profile analysis, such as high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides (TG); and the Short Form 36 Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36).

Results: All outcome measures demonstrated significant improvements within the two groups (p < 0.05). Group B showed more significant reductions in BMI, W/H ratio, and LDL, along with greater significant increases in the SF-36 domain scores for physical functioning, physical health problems, bodily pain, general health, energy/fatigue, social activity, mental health, and the total SF-36 score (p < 0.05) compared to group A post-treatment. However, there were no significant differences in HDL, TG, and the score of the emotional wellbeing domain of the SF-36 between the groups after treatment (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: 12-week aerobic and resistive exercise is effective in reducing the BMI, W/H ratio, and LDL levels and enhancing the QoL in overweight breastfeeding women.

有氧运动和阻力运动对超重哺乳期妇女血脂状况和生活质量的影响：随机对照试验。

背景介绍母乳喂养对母亲和婴儿都有好处。然而，许多妇女在产后会出现体重增加、血脂状况不佳和其他产后问题，这可能会对她们的整体生活质量（QoL）产生不利影响：目的：研究在远动刺激和营养咨询的基础上增加有氧运动和阻力运动对超重哺乳期妇女血脂状况和 QoL 的影响：54名哺乳期妇女被随机分配到两组，每组人数相等。A 组接受为期 12 周的腹部法拉第刺激和营养咨询，而 B 组接受相同的法拉第刺激和营养咨询，并在相同的时间内进行有氧运动和阻力运动。治疗前后，对以下人体测量指标进行了评估：体重指数（BMI）、腰臀比（W/H）；血脂分析，如高密度脂蛋白（HDL）、低密度脂蛋白（LDL）和甘油三酯（TG）；以及简表 36 健康调查问卷（SF-36）：结论：为期 12 周的有氧运动和阻力运动能有效降低超重哺乳期妇女的体重指数（BMI）、体重/身高比（W/H ratio）和低密度脂蛋白（LDL）水平，并提高她们的生活质量。

期刊介绍： Physiotherapy Research International is an international peer reviewed journal dedicated to the exchange of knowledge that is directly relevant to specialist areas of physiotherapy theory, practice, and research. Our aim is to promote a high level of scholarship and build on the current evidence base to inform the advancement of the physiotherapy profession. We publish original research on a wide range of topics e.g. Primary research testing new physiotherapy treatments; methodological research; measurement and outcome research and qualitative research of interest to researchers, clinicians and educators. Further, we aim to publish high quality papers that represent the range of cultures and settings where physiotherapy services are delivered. We attract a wide readership from physiotherapists and others working in diverse clinical and academic settings. We aim to promote an international debate amongst the profession about current best evidence based practice. Papers are directed primarily towards the physiotherapy profession, but can be relevant to a wide range of professional groups. The growth of interdisciplinary research is also key to our aims and scope, and we encourage relevant submissions from other professional groups. The journal actively encourages submissions which utilise a breadth of different methodologies and research designs to facilitate addressing key questions related to the physiotherapy practice. PRI seeks to encourage good quality topical debates on a range of relevant issues and promote critical reflection on decision making and implementation of physiotherapy interventions.
