運動與針灸在體重控制之效用評估

本篇研究旨在探討運動與針灸對於肥胖患者減輕體重用的評估。參與完成本研究有26人，針灸組與運動組各13人。針灸組耳針主穴以飢點、口、內分泌、胃為主，埋針後每日按壓三至四次，耳針每週換針一次，兩耳每週輪流換針，共計12週。運動組以跑步機跑步運動為主，每週三次，每次一小時，運動強度為最大心跳60%至80%為範圍，共計12週。研究結果顯示：治療前後針灸及運動組分別減輕6.3公斤及5.2公斤，統計學上均呈明顯的差異（針灸組P=0.0001，運動組p=0.0005）。針灸三個月，每月減重比例為44%、33%、22%，呈線性緩慢下降，運動組每月減重比例為71%、19%、10%，呈急速下降曲線。針灸組血中三酸甘油酯及膽固醇都有降低的現象，平均三酸甘油酯由171.0mg/dl降為128.2mg/dl（P=0.011）。運動組在生化方面無明顯之差異。本研究顯示，十二週之耳針針灸或大肌肉群的耐力運動配合飲食控制，都可以有效的減輕體重。

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of exercise and acupuncture for weight reduction in obese adult. Twenty-six subjects with mean age of adult and were randomly assigned to two treatment groups. Each group contains thirteen subjects. The acu-points were ”hunger-point” ”mouth” ”endocrine” and ”stomach” in the ear. Ear-needles were removed weekly and placed on the other ear alternatively weekly for twelve weeks. Subjects were asked to press .the ear-needles three or four times daily. Subjects in the exercise group participated in treadmill exercise, three times a week for 12wks and the exercise duration was one hour. The target intensity was set as 60-80% of the maximal heart rate. Result showed that average weight reduction were 6.3 kg in acupuncture group and 5.2 kg in exercise group. Both groups showed significant weight reduction. In addition, the serum triglyceride and cholesterol were reduced in the acupuncture group. Average serum triglyceride was reduced from 171.0 mg/dl to 128.2mg/dl (p=0.01). No significant changes were noted in biochemical parameters in the exercise group. Our study showed that in combination with diet control a 12-week acupuncture or endurance exercise program had similar effect in body weight reduction.
