Volunteers informed about the experimental procedure and purpose of this study. Subsequently, their written informed consent is obtained. After the registration of demographic data including age, weight, body mass index, volunteers will be randomly assigned in one of three groups: local vibration, abdominal muscle strength exercise and control. Weight scales with a precision of 0.1 kg and height tape with a precision of 0.1 cm is measured and recorded. Waist circumference is measured with an accuracy of 0.1 centimeter with a tape. Subcutaneous fat thickness is measured using Sahan caliper in lying position at a distance of 3 cm umbilical part (Approximate location of rectus abdominis muscle mass). Intervention: The local vibration at 30-50HZ frequency conducted for 30 minutes in the local vibration group. The vibrator is directly placed on sides of umbilicus (on the rectus abdominis muscle). In the abdominal strengthening group, exercise is performed in the way that subjects lie supine with knee bent at 90 degree. They pull the torso upward from lying position as possible as they can and return to start position (spending 3 second for each movement, followed by 1 second holding). Before exercise, flex ion and extension of the cervical and lumbar spine are done for 10 times to warm up. Exercise are performed 3 set with 8 to 10 repetitions .The interventions are done 3 times per week for 12 weeks. All volunteers are asked not to participate in the any exercise program and not to change their usual diet, which is conducive to weight loss or gain.
