The Simultaneous Effects of Green Coffee and Combine Exercise Training on Body Composition and Glucose Homeostasis in Obese and Overweight Women

Obesity and overweight are widely expending in worldwide and containing a wide range of diseases, such as glucose homeostasis disorders. Green coffee and exercise are as suitable treatment options for this condition.

The aim was to evaluate the simultaneous effects of green coffee consumption and combine training on body composition and glucose homeostasis in overweight and obese women.

26 overweight and obese women were randomly divided into three green coffee (n=9), combined training (n=10) and green coffee - combined training (n=7) groups. Green coffee powder was consumed daily as two 125 mg per day before lunch and dinner. Combine training was contain of six weeks, four session per week of progressive endurance- strength training. Insulin, fast blood suger and HOMA and body composition factors were measured before and after the end of interventions. 

Weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference, waist to hip ratio (WHR), fat percent, insulin and HOMA levels were significantly decrease in all three groups that the reduction for all variables except waist circumference, WHR, insulin and HOMA were higher in green coffee- combine training group than two other groups (P<0.05). Blood glucose changes was not significant in any groups (P>0.05).

Results indicated that maybe both green coffee and combine training are effective for improve body composition,  insulin and HOMA levels and simultaneous usage of green coffee combine with combine training have synergistic effects on improving body composition.
