“…We also observed significant differences in the HDL, TC, and HDL/TC post-test values of the two study groups, but there was no significant difference in the LDL, TG, and ApoB values between the two groups. These results are in line with some studies (8,(15)(16)(17) and inconsistent with a few other studies (18)(19)(20). Increased LDL level is an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease, and its reduction to 60 mg/dl will reduce the incidence of coronary artery disease by 50% within two years (21).…”

Background and objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of six months of aerobic exercise on lipid profile, inflammatory markers, and risk factors of cardiovascular disease in middle-aged obese women.Methods: Fifteen obese woman (age range: 35 to 45 years) with BMI of ≥30 Kg/m 2 were enrolled via purposeful and convenience sampling. The participants were randomly divided into training (n=10) and control (n=5) groups. Blood samples (7 ml) were taken from all participants before the first training session and after the last training session. The women performed 60 minutes of aerobic exercise at 55-65% of heart rate reserve, three sessions a week, for six months. Data was analyzed using independent and paired t-tests and Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests at significance of 0.05.Results: After the six-month aerobic exercise, C-reactive protein, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, total cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein/total cholesterol decreased significantly. The exercise intervention also caused a significant increase in the concentrations of high-density lipoprotein and apolipoprotein A. Exercise, physical activity, and endurance training can act as therapeutic factors for patients with atherosclerosis (11). Recent studies show that regular exercise can lower LDL levels by 5% and subsequently increase HDL by 3 to 6% (12). Long-term exercise directly reduces CRP levels by decreasing cytokine production in adipose tissue, muscles, and mononuclear cells and increasing insulin sensitivity, all of which contribute to weight loss and improvement of endothelial function (13). In recent years, the protein component of lipoproteins has attracted the attention of researchers, and many studies have shown that serum levels of HDL and LDL depend on the production of ApoA and ApoB. In addition, ApoA and ApoB levels have a negative and positive correlation with risk of cardiovascular disease, respectively (14). Hence, this study evaluated the effects of six months of aerobic training on lipid profile, inflammatory markers, and cardiovascular risk factors in middle-aged obese women (with BMI of ≥30). Conclusion MATERIAL AND METHODSFifteen obese woman (age range: 35 to 45 years) with BMI of ≥30 Kg/m 2 were enrolled via purposeful and convenience sampling. After obtaining consent and completion of a health questionnaire, the participants were randomly divided into training (n=10) and control (n=5) groups. Exclusion criteria included drug use, menopause, smoking, and regular exercise in the last six months. First, anthropometric characteristics such as height, weight, and BMI of the women were recorded. Then, they participated in a briefing before the start of the training protocol. To evaluate the variables under study, fasting blood samples (7 ml) were taken from all participants in a sitting position before the first training session (pretest) and after complication of the last training session (post-test). The women performed 60 minutes of aerobic exercise, three sessions a week, for ...

“…It has been proposed that chronic high-intensity interval training (HIIT) (≈85% VO 2max ) may elicit greater health benefits than traditional chronic aerobic exercise. Reasons for this supposition include improvements in SOD activity [11], aerobic capacity [15], blood lipids [16], and blood pressure [17] that are more remarkable when exercise is performed at higher intensities.…”

Increased levels of oxidative stress and inflammation have been linked to the progression of chronic kidney disease. To reduce oxidative stress and inflammation related to chronic kidney disease, chronic aerobic exercise is often recommended. Data suggests high intensity interval training may be more beneficial than traditional aerobic exercise. However, appraisals of differing modes of exercise, along with explanations of mechanisms responsible for observed effects, are lacking. This study assessed effects of eight weeks of high intensity interval training (85% VO 2 max), versus low intensity exercise (45-50% VO 2 max) and sedentary behaviour, in an animal model of early-stage chronic kidney disease. We examined kidney-specific mRNA expression of genes related to endogenous antioxidant enzyme activity (glutathione peroxidase 1; Gpx1, superoxide dismutase 1; Sod1, and catalase; Cat) and inflammation (kidney injury molecule 1; Kim1 and tumour necrosis factor receptor super family 1b; Tnfrsf1b), as well as plasma F2-isoprostanes, a marker of lipid peroxidation.Compared to sedentary behaviour, high intensity interval training resulted in increased mRNA expression of Sod1 (p=0.01) and Cat (p<0.001). Compared to low intensity exercise, high intensity interval training resulted in increased mRNA expression of Cat (p<0.001) and Tnfrsf1b (p=0.047). In this study, high intensity interval training was superior to sedentary behaviour and low intensity exercise as high intensity interval training beneficially influenced expression of genes related to endogenous antioxidant enzyme activity and inflammation.

“…Antonio Paoli et al [8] found the effects of high intensity circuit training, low intensity circuit training and endurance training on blood pressure and lipoproteins in middle aged overweight men and the main finding of this study was the greater effect on blood lipids improvement of a high intensity circuit compared to a lighter circuit or to an endurance training. Different kinds of circuit showed different effects on blood pressure.…”

“…Low intensity circuit training more improves systolic blood pressure compared to high intensity training and endurance training while the effect of exercise on diastolic blood pressure was greater in response to high intensity circuit training. Resistance training has long been accepted for developing and maintaining muscular strength, endurance, and power and muscle mass [8].…”

“…Both aerobic endurance exercise and resistance training can promote substantial benefits in physical fitness and health related factors in older individuals [8]. Aerobic endurance training has a greater impact on maximum oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) and associated cardiopulmonary variables and it more effectively modifies cardiovascular disease risk factors associated with the development of coronary artery disease.…”

Study Design: Experimental study design.Background: Aerobic training and resistance training are the two treatment technique used in reducing systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. There is limited evidence for comparison of aerobic training and resistance training in reducing systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. Purpose of study:To establish the effect of aerobic training and resistance training on blood pressure in hypertensive patients.Method: Total numbers of thirty patients were randomly assigned to receive either aerobic training or resistance training. Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were taken at baseline, 3 rd week and 6 th week in both the groups. Result:In both the group significant improvement occurred in aerobic training and resistance training. Between groups analysis there was significant improvement in aerobic training when compared with resistance training. Conclusion:Both aerobic and resistance training were found to be effective in reducing systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. But aerobic training is more effective in reducing systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate when compared with resistance training.
