Abstract:

Adiponectin may be a marker for coronary artery disease and seems to have protective metabolic and anti inflammatory properties, which prevents atherosclerosis. The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of endurance and resistance training on Adiponectin in sedentary young women. In this regard, 30 sedentary young women subject (BMI ≥ 25) were randomly assigned to three groups (endurance training, resistance training and control). The experimental training programs were performed three days a week for 12 weeks at a definite intensity and distance. Before and after 12 weeks intervention, Adiponectin, weight and body composition, Vo2max was measured for all subjects. Data were analyzed by one way analysis of variance (p≤ 0.05). Results showed that endurance and resistance training caused a significant increase in Adiponectin and Vo2max, significant decrease in weight and body percent fat of the experimental group in comparison to control group. This data suggest that physical training have positive effects on serum Adiponectin.
