ADA2013：修复瑜伽可减少四肢肥胖

加速生活模式干预可以预防或减慢2型糖尿病的发展。有氧运动在提高身体和局部碳水化合物方面是合理的，但对于体重增加和久坐的成年人意味著是不可行的。为了评核温和的体力社交活动，举例如重建苦行僧和牵伸对碳水化合物分布的受到影响，来自美国加利福尼亚大学的Maria G Araneta教授及其工作团队进行了一项研究成果，该研究成果发现重建苦行僧对身体体重增加和肥胖的下降和持续性提高是合理的，但对于皮肉碳水化合物范围单方面。

该研究成果中，在伴有代谢综合征（IDF标准）的顶多成年人（年龄21–65岁）中进行48周的随机试验，比较重建苦行僧与立即牵伸。受试者缺乏运动（跑步＜150min/周），而且未运用于降血糖药物、烟酸、贝特类降血脂药物和激素。受试者放弃90分钟宗教团体科目，并鼓励回家练习。测体重和肥胖，通过CT测皮肉和皮下碳水化合物。

该研究成果结果表明，在171举例随机受试者中，平均年龄为55岁，平均体重指数（BMI）为34kg/m2。苦行僧一组6月初和12月初后，身体体重增加体重和皮下碳水化合物相当大提高，然而，在牵伸一组，均在第6个月初有排便。在6月初和12月初后，苦行僧一组对比牵伸一组，皮下碳水化合物相当大提高，但两一组的皮肉碳水化合物都未变化。

该研究成果发现，重建苦行僧对身体体重增加和肥胖的下降和持续性提高是合理的，但对于皮肉碳水化合物范围单方面。

Intensive lifestyle interventions he prevented or delayed type 2 diabetes. Aerobic exercise is effective in overall and regional fat weight loss but might not be feasible for obese sedentary s. The effects of gentle physical activity such as restorative yoga and stretching on fat distribution has not been evaluated.

We conducted a 48-week randomized trial comparing restorative yoga vs. active stretching in overweight s (ages 21-65 years) with the metabolic syndrome (IDF criteria). Participants were underactive (

Among the 171 randomized participants mean age was 55 and mean BMI was 34 kg/m2. Overall adiposity weight and subcutaneous fat decreased significantly after 6 and 12 months in the yoga group whereas weight decreased only at 6 months in the stretching group (Table). Subcutaneous fat decreased significantly in the yoga vs. stretching group after 6 and 12 months but visceral fat did not change in either group.

Restorative yoga was effective in reducing and sustaining reduction in overall adiposity and waist girth but not in visceral fat area.
