Abstract :
The aim of the present study is to compare the effects of eight weeks of crossfit exercises and consumption of medium and high doses of green tea on the body composition and lipid profiles of overweight and obese women. 40 overweight and obese women in five groups with an average age of 28.1 ± 3.4 years, height 164 ± 0.5 cm, weight 75.95 ± 0.9 kg volunteered to participate in this research. Crossfit training was done in 24 sessions during eight weeks. The duration of the activity in each session was 60 minutes. Each training session consisted of 15 minutes of warm-up, 45 minutes of crossfit exercises, and 15 minutes of stretching and cooling down. The subjects of the green tea group consumed 1000 mg of green tea with an average dose and the subjects of the high dose of green tea consumed 1500 mg of green tea. The placebo group consumed the same amount of corn starch in capsules of the same shape and color. The fat percentage of the subjects in the green tea group with medium dose combined with Crossfit training (p = 0.009), the green tea group with high dose combined with Crossfit training (p = 0.004) and the placebo group with Crossfit training (p = 0.023) decreased significantly. No intra-group changes or inter-group differences were observed for triglyceride, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol variables. The results of the research showed that performing eight weeks of crossfit training along with green tea consumption reduces the fat percentage of overweight and obese women.
