Experimental study on stabilometric complex for terrainkur in overweight people.

Area of Science:

• Obesity research
• Physical therapy
• Biomechanical analysis

Background:

• Overweight and obesity are global health issues affecting a significant portion of the population.
• Effective obesity management requires sustained physical activity and lifestyle changes.
• Obese individuals often face challenges with physical activity due to impaired walking patterns and reduced endurance.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the effectiveness of Terrainkur (therapeutic walking) in improving body composition and biomechanical parameters in overweight individuals.
• To assess the impact of Terrainkur on patient compliance with physical activity regimens.
• To investigate the role of physical therapy in addressing gait abnormalities associated with obesity.

Main Methods:

• A study comparing an exposure group (Terrainkur) with a control group.
• Assessment of body composition parameters including total fat, metabolic age, and basic caloric value.
• Analysis of biomechanical factors such as body axis deviation and foot underextension during walking.

Main Results:

• The Terrainkur group demonstrated significant reductions in total fat, metabolic age, and basic caloric value.
• Improved biomechanical parameters were observed in the Terrainkur group, including reduced body axis deviation and better foot mechanics.
• These physical improvements led to fewer restrictions and enhanced patient compliance with Terrainkur exercises.

Conclusions:

• Terrainkur is an effective spa treatment method for improving body composition and biomechanics in overweight individuals.
• Addressing gait impairments through therapeutic walking can increase patient adherence to physical activity programs.
• Physical activity, specifically therapeutic walking, plays a crucial role in long-term obesity management and body structure modification.
