The purpose of this study is about the effects of enzyme fasting and yoga discipline to treat obesity.
The target of this study were female students in their twenties of K yoga center who doesn’t have any obesity-related medical history or medicine during the period from September 2010 to October 2011 in Yuseong and total number of participants was sixty. The participants have similar body mass index(BMI). In the method of research, this study used both independent t-test and Paired t-test to compare homogeneity and statistically significance between experimental group and comparison group. In the test, first 30 participants have both enzyme fasting and yoga program for 4weeks as an experimental group and another 30 participants played only yoga for same period of experimental group as a comparison group. Finally, following several results is drawn from the test. First, people who have enzyme fasting and yoga, experimental group, showed noticeable weight loss in their physical weight difference for 4 weeks compare with comparison group. After 4weeks participants of experimental group reduced their weight by 6.9 ± 2.7 kg but comparison group have shown their weight loss in 0.7±1.8kg only. Second, experimental group reduced 2.6 ± 1.0 and comparison group reduced 0.3±0.7 in BMI measurement. Third, by comparison of body fat percentage, experimental group reduced 3.2 ± 1.8% in their body fat and comparison group reduced 0.9 ± 1.2% for same period above. These series of result in test shown that the differences of weight, BMI, body fat percentage were statistically significant. Lastly, experimental group have shown that total 2.2 ± 1.0 kg of muscle mass declined and comparison group decreased 0.1 ± 0.8 kg by same measurement. This changes have statistically significant in significance level 0.05 (p<0.05)from the result of Paired t-test.
