Exercise training,, Obese Children, Resistance Insulin, Adiponectin, Lipid profile

Current changing lifestyles of Iranian, specially childhood, can affect their risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Studies show that different exercise ways are of the most important factors that affect cardiovascular risk factors. The aim of this study was to survey of lipid profile, insulin resistance, and adiponectin levels following eight weeks of endurance, strength and combined training in inactive obese children.
The research was quasi-experimental and it performed in the field. Sixty obese male children (age: 8-12 years, BMI between 30-35 kg/m2 according to the World Health Organization) were purposefully selected and randomly divided into four experimental groups of 15 individuals including endurance exercise, resistance exercise, combined exercise and control. Exercise training programs were performed four times a week for eight weeks. To assess variable changes in four groups was used ANOVA with repeated measurement and one way ANOVA by use SPSS software, version 21.
Results showed that three types of exercise training significantly decreased BMI, Tc, TG, LDL, VLDL, and insulin resistance in experimental groups to control group (P=0.001). Serum HDL and adiponectin significantly increased after different training in experimental groups to control group (P=0.001).
According to the findings, it is suggested that three types of exercise applied in this study, especially endurance training use to prevent and reduce the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and obesity-related disorders in inactive obese children.
