Thirty post menopausal obese women diagnosed as having insulin resistance and their age ranged from 45 to 60 years had been divided into two groups equal in number. Group (A) receivedlaser acupuncture three times weekly for three months. Group (B) participated in moderate intensity aerobic exercise in the form of walking on treadmill for 45 minutes, 3 times/week at moderate intensity (60 - 75% of maximum heart rate) for three months. Both groups (A and B) followed the same moderate restricted diet.
