Comparison and study of the effects of resistance exercise trainings with two different loadings with Omega3-6-9 supplement on Adiponectin and hsCRP in Healthy overweight young men

Background and Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of two types of resistance exercise training along with omega-3-6-9 supplementations on some risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 60 healthy overweight young male students from Payame Noor University of Hamedan City were randomly assigned to 6 groups of 10 subjects, including circular resistance exercise+omega3-6-9 supplementation, progressive pyramidal resistance training+omega3-6-9 supplementation, circular resistance exercise+placebo, progressive pyramidal exercise+placebo, omega3-6-9 supplement and placebo. Exercise groups completed training programs for 12 weeks. Adiponectin levels and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were measured before and after the 12-week period of physical training. Data were analyzed using paired t test, two-way ANOVA and ANCOVA. Results: Circular resistance exercise, but not progressive pyradimal exercise, with omega3-6-9 supplementation (P=0.000) and circular resistance exercise with placebo (P=0.007) resulted in significant increases in adiponectin levels, but not hsCRP levels. The difference between post-test mean values of the two types of exercise was significant for adiponectin, but not for hsCRP. The effect of supplementation on the level of hsCRP, independent of the type of exercise, was significant (P=0.031). There was no significant difference between the groups in relation to the hsCRP levels. Conclusion: Circular resistance exercise, but not progressive pyramidal, increased serum adiponectin levels independent of omega3-6-9 supplementation.
