Material & Methods: This research was a clinical trial with a statistical sample of 20 volunteers with hypothyroidism who were referred to a 17th shahrivar hospital clinical in Rasht city, and were randomly divided into two groups of exercise (EG) and control (CG). Before and after 8 weeks of resistance aerobic exercise (3Session, 75Min). Serum cortisol, leptin and body composition indices and physical fitness components were measured. Analysis of the obtained data was done through SPSS version 26. Results: The results of the present study showed that 8 weeks of aerobic-resistance training caused a significant decrease in waist-to-hip ratio, increased anaerobic power, agility, balance, and muscle strength (P<0.05), but no significant were seen on resting metabolism rate, serum cortisol and leptin of female with hypothyroidism (P<0.05). Conclusions: It seems that aerobic-resistance training may improve some of physical fitness and body composition of females with hypothyroidism, but it has no effect on resting metabolism rate, serum cortisol and leptin of these patient.
