The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of 8 weeks pilates training on resting levels of irisin and anthropometric obesity indexes in overweight middle-aged women.
Methods
In this semi-experimental study, 20 women with regular menstrual cycles and body mass index (30-25) were voluntarily chosen and randomly divided into two groups, Pilates and control. Pilates group trained 8 weeks, three time per week. Blood samples from participants were taken 12 hours before pre-test and also at the end of the exercise protocol after 48 hours of fasting state in two stages. Data were analyzed using the independent samples T-test and paired samples T-test (p<0.05).
Results
Paired t-test results for plasma irisin in training group showed a significant increase after 8 weeks pilates training (p=0.00). As well as the arms, abdomen, hips, thighs, weight and body mass index after training in the Pilates group was significantly reduced (p<0.05) and control group showed no significant change compared to the start of the study (p>0.05). Comparison of means between groups by independent t-test was significant only in irisin variable compared to the control group (p<0.05).
