Abstract

Background: OBESITY is currently a worldwide health epidemic which has incited majorinterest among researchers to look for the underlying mechanisms that regulate bodyweight. In fact, adiponectin and LEPTIN concentrations that are called adipokines arealtered in OBESITY with a decreased production of adiponectin and an increasedproduction of LEPTIN. Adiponectin has anti-inflammatory, anti-atherosclerotic and antiinsulinresistance properties, but increased levels of LEPTIN are observed in patients withdiabetes and cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigatethe effects of an 8-week AEROBIC TRAINING program on the plasma levels of adiponectinand LEPTIN in healthy middle-aged men.Methods: Thirty healthy middle-aged men were selected based on their body fatpercentage and were assigned to two equal groups. The experimental group took the 8-week training, four days a week on alternate days with an intensity of 60-80% of theirheart rate reserve but the control group lived their sedentary life. Blood samples werecollected before and after the training program from all subjects and plasma adipokinelevels were measured.Results: Plasma adiponectin concentration increased while LEPTIN levels decreasedsignificantly (P<0.001 and P≤0.042 respectively) upon completion of the 8-weekprogram. Moreover, reduction in body fat percentage (P≤0.001) negatively correlatedwith adiponectin (P≤0.001) and positively with LEPTIN changes (P≤0.008).Conclusion: In healthy middle-aged men, 8-week AEROBIC TRAINING programs couldreduce body fat percentage and improve plasma adipokines levels. Therefore, aerobictraining can be considered as a major strategy for preventing OBESITY and itsaccompanying diseases.
