Overweight and obesity are an important predictor of elevated blood pressure (BP) and also had more high mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure than normal weight. To determine vital capacity and cholesterol response to focused ultrasound cavitation in prehypertensive centrally obese men. Fifty volunteers' prehypertensive (systolic blood pressure ranged from 120 to 139 mmHg and diastolic from 80 to 89 mmHg) centrally obese men with age ranged from 25 to 35 years old and their body mass index (BMI) ranged from 30 - 34.9 kg / m2 (obesity class I) were participated in this study. They were recruited from outpatient clinic at 6th October university hospital. They were assigned into two groups equal in number: Group A included 25men received a weight reduction program in the form of low caloric diet management (800 - 1200 calories / day), aerobic exercises in form of walking on treadmill 3 times per week for 12 week in addition to high intensity focused ultrasound cavitation once a week. Group B included 25 men received a weight reduction program in the form of low caloric diet management (800 - 1200 calories /day), aerobic exercises in form of walking on treadmill 3 times per week for 12 week only. Body weight, body mass index, abdominal circumference, forced vital capacity (FVC) and cholesterol level was measured before and after 6 weeks post I and 12 weeks post II of training
