Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of the concurrent thermotherapy and intermittent fasting therapy for obesity. The experimental therapy conducted at the same time for 11 days, and had 35 adult participants. Six variables(girth, body weight, body mass index, body fat ratio, abdominal fat, and body basal metabolic rate) of participants were measured initially before the experimental therapy, and respectively after two consecutive experimental therapies (S1 and S2). The differences between the averages of the six variables in the initial measurement (C group), S1 group, and S2 group are significant and correlate each other. The differences between variables also were significant within groups and between groups. Additionally, the results show that the effectiveness of the therapy was greater after the 2nd therapy than the 1st therapy. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the concurrent therapy is effective and useful as a natural healing therapy for obesity.

간헐 단식과 주열요법을 병행하여 비만에 관련된 연구를 하는 것이 목적이었다. 두 요법을 35명을 대상으로 11간씩 2회를 실시하였다. 대상자들의 허리둘레, 체중, 체질량지수의 변화, 신체지방비율, 복부내장지방과 기초대사량의 사전 사후의 변화를 연구하였고, 상기 각 항목의 평균 검사치는 요법 실시 전 조사한 C그룹과 1단계 단식(11일 간) 후 조사한 S1그룹 및 2단계 단식(11일 간) 후 조사한 S2그룹과의 감소차이를 조사하였으며, 그 결과는 유의성이 있었고, S1과 S2의 감소차이도 유의성이 있었다. 기초대사량은 S1과 S2의 차이는 유의성이 없었다. 상기의 모든 항목에서 그룹 내 및 간에도 유의성이 있었고, 서로 상관관계가 있었다. 결론적으로 상기 병행 요법이 비만의 수준을 낮추는 효과가 1차 보다는 2차 단식 후에는 더 높았다. 따라서 상기 병행요법이 자연치유의 요법으로 활용의 가치가 있다고 판단한다.
