Abstract :
Introduction and purpose: Today, studies have shown that the combination of exercise and herbal supplements can have beneficial effects on health. Therefore, the present study was carried out in order to investigate the effect of an intense interval training period along with flaxseed oil supplementation on LDL and HDL serum of obese rats. Methodology: The current research is of an applied type, which was carried out in an experimental and laboratory manner. The statistical sample consisted of 32 Wistar rats with an average weight of 409 grams and two months old, which were randomly divided into four groups of eight: exercise, supplement, exercise-supplement, and control. The exercise and exercise-supplement groups underwent exercise and supplementation for 4 weeks and 6 sessions every week. The training consisted of an intense interval training program on a treadmill, and linseed oil supplementation was administered to the rats one hour before the training in the amount of 10 mg per kilogram of body weight by gavage. 24 hours after the last training session. And after anesthetizing with ether, blood was drawn from the posterior orbital sinus and the samples were transferred to the laboratory to measure the indicators. Findings: The results showed that a period of intense interval training has a significant effect on the LDL of rats and there is no significant difference for the LDL index in the exercise-supplement and supplement group, while it is significant in the exercise group compared to the control group because the sig is less than is 0.05 . The HDL index of the groups is not significantly different from the control group, but it is significant in the training group with supplements (sig<0.05). Discussion and conclusion: The results showed that intense interval exercise can be used to reduce the negative effects caused by LDL cholesterol.
