Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Physical Therapy for Gynecology and Obstetrics Summary: This study was conducted to determine the effect of intermittent versus continuous exercises on weight loss of obese postmenopausal women. This study was conducted on sixty obese post menopausal women; they were selected from Port Said Teaching Hospital. They were randomly divided into two equal groups. Group A (Intermittent exercises group): It consisted of thirty women who preformed intermittent exercise in the form of treadmill walking for two sequences 36 sessions each 30 min. separated by 1 hour of passive recovery, 3 times / week for 12 weeks in addition to diet program. Groups B (Continuous exercises group): It consisted of thirty women who preformed continues exercise in the form of treadmill walking for continuous 30 min without rest, 3 times/week, for 12 weeks in addition to diet program. BMI was assessed by using weight{u2013}height scale. Abdominal circumference was assessed by using tape measurement. Skin fold was assessed by using skin fold caliper. The results of this study showed that, there was significant decrease in BMI in both groups (A & B) post treatment. There was no significant difference between both groups (A & B) pre treatment and post treatment. There was significant decrease in abdominal circumference and skin fold in both groups (A & B) post treatment. When comparing post treatment values, there was significant difference between both groups A and B (more decrease in group A). So, it can be concluded that both intermittent and continues exercises are effective in reducing obesity in post-menopausal women. But intermittent exercises are effective more than continuous exercises in reducing abdominal obesity in post-menopausal women
