        Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of eight weeks of combined training (aerobic-resistance) on sleep quality, prolactin hormone and growth hormone, of overweight and obese adolescent girls. Research method: The current research was of a semi-experimental type. In this study, 30 overweight and obese adolescent girls were randomly divided into two experimental groups of 15 people (average age: 16.33 ± 0.97 years; body mass index: 26 30.48±3 kg/m2) and the control group (mean age: 16.53±1.18 years; body mass index: 30.48±3.26 kg/m2) were divided. Eight weeks experimental group they performed progressive aerobic-resistance exercises three sessions a week. Each session consists of 10 minutes of warming up, 5 minutes of cooling down, 30 minutes of aerobic exercise with an intensity of 60-80% of the maximum heart rate and 45 minutes of resistance exercise with an intensity of 50-70%. Repetition was the maximum. Before and after eight weeks of training, sleep quality, anxiety level and prolactin and growth hormones were measured. Statistical information was obtained by one-way ANCOVA and Yeoman-Whitney tests through spss software. 22 cases were analyzed. A significance level of p0.05). Conclusion: A combined training course (aerobic-resistance) probably improves the quality of sleep of overweight and obese students and has no effect on prolactin and growth hormone levels Keyword: sleep quality, prolactin hormone, growth hormone, combined training (aerobic-resistance).
