Background and Objective: Obesity and elevated levels of inflammatory markers are associated with increased risk of chronic diseases such as type2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of total body resistance exercise and Vaccinium arctostaphylos supplementation on body composition and C-reactive protein in obese women.
Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 52 sedentary women with the mean age of 39.1±4.9 years and body mass index of 33.7±3.1 kg/m2 were randomly divided into four groups: training, supplement, training + supplement and control. Subjects of training and training + supplement groups underwent total body resistance exercise for eight weeks. Supplement and training + supplement groups consumed capsules containing 500 mg of Vaccinium arctostaphylos twice daily. Weight, body mass index, abdominal circumference, percentage of body fat and serum level of C-reactive protein was measured at the beginning and after eight weeks intervention. Data were analyzed by analysis of
Results: Weight, body mass index, abdominal circumference and percentage of body fat decreased significantly in training and training + supplement groups compared to control groups after the intervention (P˂0.05). Serum C-reactive protein level was not significantly different among four groups (P˃0.05).
Conclusion: It seems that total body resistance exercise alone or combined with Vaccinium arctostaphylos supplements can improve body composition in obese women; however it may not lead to changes in C-reactive protein level.
