چکیده مقاله :

Introduction:Studies show that the effects of different types of physical activity vary in various intensities and periods on body composition, lipid profile, and liver enzymes in men and women with varying levels of age, fitness, and health. Anethum herbal supplement can reduce cholesterol and triglycerides and help prevent and treat atherosclerosis. The effects of Anethum in interaction with exercise on blood lipids, body composition, and liver enzymes are unclear.Material & Methods:28 healthy and inactive male obese volunteers (age 20-30 years old) were randomly divided into four groups: Training, Anethum, Training+Anethum, and Control group. Independent variables included performing eight weeks of aerobic training and taking 650 mg of Anethum tablets for eight weeks, three times a day after meals. Dependent variables included lipid profile factors, body composition, and serum levels of liver enzymes. The intensity of aerobic training was set at 50 - 75% Vo2max using the HRR method to observe the principle of increasing overload. The main stage of training consisted of 45 minutes of aerobic activities. Paired samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey's post hoc test were used to determine the within-groups and between-groups differences, respectively, at a significance level of 5%.Results: Performing eight weeks of aerobic training combined with Anethum herbal supplementation reduces LDL_c, TC, TG, BMI, WHR, ALT, ALP, and AST in the fasting state of inactive obese men(P<0.05). These variables' reduction rate was more significant in all intervention groups than in the control group. However, the groups did not observe significant differences (P>0.05).Conclusions: Therefore, to lose weight, blood lipids, and liver enzymes, intend to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, probably, performing aerobic exercises along with taking Antom tablets has a greater effect in reducing lipid risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
