Abstract
BACKGROUND: Young obese adults have a very high risk of developing metabolic syndromes (MetS). I he predisposing factors like adipokines, lipid profile, inflammatory cytokines and antioxidant enzyme status between the sedentary and active life style in young obese individuals have not been elaborately studied. The physiological relationship and impact of resistance trainings over obesity inducing factors in young male obese individuals who are at risk for metabolic syndrome (Mets) were evaluated.
METHODS: Blood samples were collected before and at different time points of light to moderate and resistance trainings. Adipocytokines, obesity hormones, pro-inflammatory cytokines, lipid profile and antioxidant enzymes were measured using standard spectrophotometric and FLISA methods.
RESULTS: A proportional increase in adiponectin and HLD-c has been observed post 5th and 10th weeks with respect to control groups. A gradual decrease in lecithin, resistin, SOD, GPx along with TNF alpha and IL-6 were hall mark observations post 5th and 10th week resistance training. There was no significant alternation in obesity inducing factors for non-obese control and light to moderate exercise groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Resistance training proves beneficial in lowering obesity inducing factors in young obese adults.
