Effects of Eight Weeks Aerobic Training on Serum Apo A-I, APO B and lipid profile in Overweight Women

The aim of this study was evaluation the Effects of eight Weeks Aerobic Training on Serum apo A-I, apo B and lipid profile in inactive Overweight Women. Statistics population of this semi-experimental study were 20-30 years old women with BMI>25 kg/m2 that selected by purposeful-available sampling and were randomly divided into training (n = 11) and control group (n = 10). The training group followed eight weeks running aerobic exercise training, three sessions per week with 55-75% of maximum heart rate. Data were analyzed with independent t test.
The results of this study showed that body fat percent, body mass index, cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein and low density lipoprotein did not significantly change following 8 weeks aerobic training (P>0.05), but apo B sinificantly decreased (P =0.008) and apo A-1 sinificantly increased (P =0.042). the results of this study showed that although aerobic training had not a significant effect on weight, body fat percent and risk factors of cardiovascular disease, cause a significant improve in reverse transfer of cholesterol and these change positively prevent from atherosclerosis. This findings showed that as a result of exercise training apo A and B are more affected than LDL and HDL and then obviously show the effect of exercise training.
