In comparison between the two groups, there was no significant difference in weight and body fat percentage before and after.<br/>Summarizing these conclusions, the purpose was to reduce weight and improve body fat percentage, which was effective in improving physical ability by allowing obese women to perform complex exercise programs, but there were only significant changes as shown above.
