Aims: Obesity is associated with increased skeletal inflammation such as lumbar lordosis angle, and evidence suggests that vitamin D3 levels have an impact on this process by affecting testosterone secretion. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of twelve weeks of combined selective exercise and Kegel exercises on vitamin D3 levels, testosterone, and lumbar lordosis angle in inactive obese men.
Materials and Methods: For this purpose, 60 obese subjects with an average age of 29.4 years and an average body mass index of 32.45 were divided into three groups of 20 people each, selected combined exercises (endurance, strength), Kegel exercises, and control with a pre- and post-test design. The exercises included warm-up, specialized group exercises, and cool-down. Anthropometric indices and blood factors of the subjects were taken. To ensure the normality of the data distribution, the Shapiro-Wilk test was used, and to examine the changes in the groups, the one-way ANOVA analysis of variance test was used at a significance level of 0.05 in SPSS software version 26.
Findings: The results showed that after three months of training, the changes in lumbar curvature in the Kegel group were significant compared to the other groups. Although the changes in the two factors vitamin D3 and testosterone were not significant, the level of testosterone secretion increased in the Kegel group.
Conclusion: Performing Kegel exercises is effective in reducing the lumbar lordosis angle and these exercises can be appropriately and regularly included in individuals' exercise programs to improve their health.
