Abstract

Background: Aerobics (AE) is an attractive type of aerobic exercise and can be considered as an appropriate intervention strategy for weight loss. However, results of clinical trials are not consistent due to high variability in relation to the type of AE and duration of intervention. Objective: The objective was to investigate the effect of AE on weight and fat mass loss in adult women. Methods: Of the total number of 243 studies, the final analysis included seven clinical trials with a pooled sample size of 242 females. Results: Although the results confirmed a significant overall effect on weight loss (-1.97 kg, 95% confidence interval [-3.72, -0.23], p = .03), an effect on fat mass loss was not confirmed (-2.62%, 95% confidence interval [-5.53, 0.29], p = .08). It was further observed that traditional AE and longer interventions have a greater effect on reducing body weight and fat mass compared with aqua AE and interventions shorter than 10 weeks. Conclusions: In conclusion, AE seems to be an effective intervention for weight loss in women, but the type of AE and the duration of the intervention should be considered.

有氧运动对成年女性体重和脂肪减少的影响:系统回顾和荟萃分析

背景:有氧运动(AE)是一种有吸引力的有氧运动，可以被认为是一种适当的减肥干预策略。然而，由于与AE类型和干预时间相关的高度可变性，临床试验的结果并不一致。目的:探讨AE对成年女性体重和脂肪减少的影响。方法:在243项研究中，最终分析包括7项临床试验，共纳入242名女性。结果:虽然结果证实了对体重减轻的显着总体效果(-1.97 kg, 95%置信区间[-3.72，-0.23]，p = .03)，但对脂肪量减少的效果未得到证实(-2.62%，95%置信区间[-5.53,0.29]，p = .08)。进一步观察到，传统AE和较长时间的干预相比aqua AE和短于10周的干预在降低体重和脂肪质量方面的效果更大。结论:综上所述，AE似乎是一种有效的女性减肥干预措施，但应考虑AE的类型和干预时间。
