Abstract :
This study investigated the effect of 12weeks of lower body endurance training (LBET, 40 min endurance training on ergometer), upper body resistance training (UBRT, 40 min upper body resistance training), concurrent endurance and resistance training (CERT, 20 min lower body endurance + upper body resistance training) and control (C, no training) on CRP, serum lipids and lipoproteins, VO2max, and maximum strength of leg pressures (LP) and chest press (CP) in overweight girls. Forty-eight overweight and obese girls (BMI> 25 kg / m2) were randomly divided into four equally numbers groups. Measurements were performed before the beginning of the training and 24 hours after the last training session. The results showed a significant difference in CRP (P = 0.001), LDL-C (P = 0.014), cholesterol (P = 0.001) and VO2max (P = 0.001) between LBET and UBRT and also in CRP groups (P = 0.031) and LP (P = 0.008) between LBET and UBRT groups. However, there was no significant difference in HDL-C and TG between groups (P> 0.05). After the training, there was a significant decrease in LDL-C and TG concentrations in all intervention groups and CRP, HDL-C, VO2max, CP and cholesterol in LBET and CERT groups (P <0.05). Also, there was a significant increase in CP in UBRT and CERT groups. Therefore, it can be concluded that doing concurrent training with the allocation of half the duration of each of LBET and UBRT interventions, improves the inflammation, lipid profiles, and endurance and resistance performance of overweight and obese girls.
