Abstract

Background and Aim: Obesity is one of the most important risk factors that eventually lead to lipid disorders. It seems that regular exercise and physical activity along with proper nutrition can mitigate these risk factors. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of high intensity Periodic and moderate intensity continuous training on troponin I levels in obese male students. Methods: This is a quasi-experimental and applied research. In the present study, the statistical population consisted of all obese male students (BMI 30) of Zahedan city with a range of 19 to 26 years. In the present study, the sample size according to similar studies was considered 45 subjects in 3 groups, high intensity interval training (15 N), moderate intensity continuous training (15 N) and control group (15 N). Intermittent and continuous training groups performed three sessions of training for 8 weeks and three sessions each week. Intermittent training with 55-90% of maximal heart rate and moderate training consisted of 40 minutes of running with 40-75% of maximal heart rate. Anthropometric indices and baseline values of the studied factors were measured 24 hours before the first and then 48 hours after the last training session by Zahedan Etemad laboratory experts. Descriptive statistics such as mean and standard deviation were used to describe the data. To test the research hypotheses after making sure that the data were normalized using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, dependent t-test was used to test for intra-group changes and One-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests for inter-group changes. Statistical analysis was performed at the significant level (P≤0.05) by SPSS 20 software. Results: The results of the hypotheses analysis showed that the response of 8 weeks of moderate intensity training on plasma levels of troponin I was significantly different from the control group. There was also a significant difference between the response of 8 weeks of high intensity intermittent training on plasma levels of troponin I compared to the control group and also 8 weeks of high intensity intermittent training response to plasma levels of troponin I in comparison with the continuous training group. shows. Also, pre-test and post-test changes in plasma levels of troponin I were significant in the high intensity and medium intensity continuous training groups. Conclusion: The results of the present study showed that high-intensity and moderate-intensity intermittent training on plasma levels of troponin I was significantly different from pre-exercise levels. Therefore, both methods of training have positive and significant effects on improving aerobic power. Based on the characteristics of the subjects such as age, sex, physical health status, etc., different types of aerobic exercises with different intensities can be used to improve the existing condition.
