The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasound cavitation on insulin resistance, HbA1c and skin fold in patients with abdominal central obesity.
Few researchers have detected the effects of ultrasonic cavitation on insulin resistance in subjects with central obesity. However, there were many conflicts and no clear evidence in the literature concerning the superiority of cavitation on body contour adjustment. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate the effects of ultrasound cavitation, aerobic exercise and a low-calorie dietary program on insulin resistance and total plasma HOMA ir and body contouring in female with abdominal obesity.

Ultrasound Fat Cavitation (USFC) is the method in handling obesity, especially in destroying fat and shaping a particular part of the body. As one of the non-surgical correction methods, USFC is preferred at decreasing the risk of complications due to obesity.
The female will stand on the cushioned tread and grasp by her both hands the two arms of the treadmill. Treadmill will adjust to apply moderate intensity training. It was used for 30 minutes divided into five-minutes warming up, twenty-minutes active exercise and five-minutes cooling down and it was used twice a week for twelve weeks.

RECRUITINGHOMA ir
This study will evaluate changes in HOMA-IR from baseline to assess improvements in insulin sensitivity because of the ultrasound cavitation intervention.
Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks"
Skin fold by caliper
The skinfold measurements will be taken using a Lange Skinfold Caliper, which provides accurate and reliable readings
Time frame: "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 8 weeks"
Waist circumference (WC) by tape measurement
Waist circumference (WC) is an essential anthropometric measure used to evaluate abdominal obesity. It serves as an indicator of visceral fat, which is associated with a higher risk of metabolic disorders, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. By measuring waist circumference.
