Abstract
Introduction
Overweight and obesity, which occur with an increase in body mass and body fat volume, are major health problems in today's sedentary and mechanized world, which threatens the health of a wide range of societies, including young people, middle-aged people, and even children, which can lead to metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
Methods
In this study, 45 overweight women who were recruited from districts 9 and 10 of Tehran were randomly divided into three groups of 15: the high-intensity interval training (HIIT) group, the moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) group, and the control group. The training groups performed the exercises for eight weeks, three sessions per week, according to the desired protocol. Data on the dependent variables were measured through blood sampling 48 hours before the start of the course and 48 hours after 8 weeks, including 10 cc of blood from the brachial vein, in a fasting state and in a sitting position. To compare the data, one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test were used at a confidence level of 95% using spss27 software.
Results
The present study showed that HIIT and MICT exercises caused a significant decrease in MDA and IFN-y indices compared to the control group (P<0.05). MICT also caused a significant decrease in MDA and IFN-y levels compared to HIIT (P<0.05).
