Abstract :

Obesity and cardiovascular disease are the leading causes of death in the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of various resistance training (traditional, circuit and Interval) on BDNF and SPARC in obese men.For this purpose, 44 obese male volunteers after homogenization were randomly divided into 4 groups based on individual characteristics: control (n = 11), traditional (n = 11), Circuit (n = 11) and Interval (n = 11). Subjects performed three sessions of resistance training each week for 12 weeks. Blood samples were taken before first training session and 48 hours after the last training session and were used to analyze the factors. Examination of intergroup differences for BDNF and SPARC showed that there was a significant difference between groups (p < 0.001). The results of Bonferroni test for BDNF showed that there was a significant difference between control with interval (p < 0.001) and circuit (p < 0.001) and traditional (p = 0.012) groups. Also, the study of intragroup changes showed that BDNF values were significantly increased in the traditional training groups (p = 0.008), the circuit resistance training group (p < 0.001) and the interval training group (p < 0.001). The results of Bonferroni test for SPARC showed that there was a significant difference between control with interval (p < 0.001) and Circuit (p < 0.001) groups. Also, the study of intragroup changes showed that SPARC values were significantly reduced in the traditional training groups (p < 0.001), the interval training group (p < 0.001) and the circuit training group (p < 0.001). In the present study, it was shown that 12 weeks of traditional, circuit and interval resistance training, increased plasma BDNF levels and decreased SPARC plasma levels in obese men. It should be noted that the desired changes in circuit and interval resistance training protocols were better than the traditional type.
