The effect of ۸ weeks of aerobic training and resveratrol consumption on the indicators of metabolic syndrome in overweight women

Background: Metabolic syndrome is a set of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type ۲ diabetes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ۸ weeks of aerobic training and resveratrol consumption on the indicators of metabolic syndrome in overweight women. Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, ۳۲ women with metabolic syndrome with body mass index of ۲۵-۲۹ / ۲۹ were purposefully selected and randomly divided into four groups (۸ people): aerobic training, resveratrol supplementation, training + supplementation and control. The training protocol was performed on a treadmill for ۸ weeks with ۳ sessions of ۶۰ minutes per week, with an intensity of ۷۵-۶۰% of the heart rate. The supplement groups took one capsule containing ۴۰۰ mg of resveratrol daily. Blood sampling was performed before the start of the research protocol and ۴۸ hours after the last training session. Analysis of covariance and Bonferroni post hoc test were used (P ≤ ۰.۰۵). Results: The results showed that aerobic training with supplementation led to a significant decrease in waist circumference, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar, triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL and a significant increase in maximal oxygen consumption (P = ۰.۰۰۱). Conclusion: Based on the results of the study, taking resveratrol supplementation along with aerobic training can have a positive effect on the indicators of metabolic syndrome. It is recommended to use aerobic training and resveratrol supplement to improve the physical condition of overweight women.
