Background: Concurrent exercise training is one of the most practical training methods for the development of physical fitness factors. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of concurrent training on appetite suppressant hormones (leptin, Peptide YY and insulin) in overweight women. Materials and Methods: The purpose of this research is semi-experimental research with pre-test/post-test design. In this study, among overweight women (BMI ≥۲۵), ۳۰ participants were purposefully selected and randomly divided into ۲ groups of ۱۵, including concurrent training and control group. The training protocol in this study was performed for ۸ weeks and ۳ sessions per week with a duration of ۹۰ minutes per session every other day. To determine the difference between two groups, an independent t-test was used and the covariance test was used to analyze, at a significant level (P≥۰.۰۵). Results: The results showed that there was a significant decrease between the pre-test and post-test stages of fat percentage variables, leptin hormone, insulin hormone, body mass index (P<۰.۰۵), And significant increase of maximum oxygen consumption, Peptide YY (P<۰.۰۵). Conclusion: It seems Concurrent Exercise Training in overweight women reduces weight and improves appetite-related hormones.
