The Effects of 8 Eight Weeks Resistance Versus Endurance Training on Lipocalin-2 level in Non-Athlete Male Students

Lipocalin-2 is a novel adipokine which is highly expressed in adipose tissue s that closely link with obesity، insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The aim thus the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of eight weeks of resistance versus endurance training on lipocalin-2 levels in non-athlete male students. In this clinical trial study، 30 healthy male students were selected and divided in to three groups such as: controlincluding control group، resistance and endurance training groups. Resistance training performed 3 three d/wk at an intensity corresponding to 65–80% of one-repetition maximum، 8-12 repetitions and 2-4 sets for 8 weeks. Endurance training group، underwent an 8-week intervention with a frequency of 3 d/wk at an intensity corresponding to 65، – 80% maximum heart rate for 20- – 38 minutes. Expressing lipocalin-2 plasma levels in samples were measured before and after intervention. Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA. Plasma expressing level of lipocalin 2 in the control group before and after intervention، were respectively; 11. /1 ± 4. /5 & 13. /05 ± 2/. 04، µg/L، respectively. The plasma level of lipocalin 2 and in the endurance training group، were 22. /7 ± 8/. 3 & and 17/. 7 ± 6/. 8، and while these level werein the resistance training group 22/. 2 ± 6/. 2 & 19/. 9 ± 6/. 5 in the resistance training group. micrograms per liter، which was not statistically different. The differences between three groups were not statistically significant (p>0/. 05). This study showed that 8 eight weeks of endurance & and resistance exercise training has no effect on lipocalin-2 plasma levels.
