Comparing the Effect of Resistance, Aerobic, and ConcurrentExercise Program on the Level of Resistin and High ReactiveProtein C of Overweight and Obese Women

History and Objective: Obesity is one of the health risks factors, and aerobic exercise is one of the means to prevent and control obesity. Theresearch was designed to compare methods of resistance, aerobic, and concurrent exercises on resistin and C‑reactive protein (CRP) serumlevel of overweight and obese women. Research Methodology: In this semi‑experimental research, 36 voluntary overweight or obese womenwere randomly assigned into three groups (n = 12) of aerobic, resistance, and concurrent exercise programs. The training included 8 weeks ofexercise performed with 55%–75% of 1‑repetition maximum weight lifting. The aerobic exercise was performed at 55%–75% of maximumoxygen consumption and concurrent training included both programs for 3 days/week. The resistin and CRP serum level of the participantwas measured 48 h before the start and again 48 h after the termination of the exercise protocol. The statistical analysis was performed ondata using SPSS 22.0 (Chicago, USA). One‑way analysis of variance and paired t‑test was employed to test the hypothesis at significancelevel set to 0.05. Results: The result indicated that exercise program significantly decreased CRP level of blood serum (P < 0.05) in allexercise groups. Such effect was present in aerobic and concurrent exercise group but not on the resistance group for resistin level (P > 0.05).Discussion: Aerobic exercise regardless of types has a beneficiary effect on CPR, but resistin level needs different types of exercise to changein overweight and obese women. Conclusion: Some aerobic exercises are beneficiary for overweight and obese women health.
