The Effect of Eight Weeks Aerobic Interval Exercise with Different Types of Volumes on Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Liver Enzymes in Women with Dyslipidemia

Metabolic dyslipidemia caused to diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its secondary consequence are the development of metabolic syndrome and diabetes. The main of this study was to observe the effects of eight weeks aerobic interval exercise with different types of volumes on cardiovascular factors and liver enzymes in women with dyslipidemia.

In this study, 30 middle-aged women with high blood fat were selected and they were divided into three groups: 1.Low-volume training (three sessions per week, n=10) (LVT), 2.High-volume training (four sessions per week, n=10)(HVT) and 3.Control (n=10)(C). The exercise program has consisted of eight weeks, three and four sessions per week for 45 to 60 minutes with an intensity of 65 to 75 percent of maximal heart rate. To compare inter and within-group, t-student and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to examine the differences between groups.

weight, BMI, body fat, WHR, ALT, AST, and TG in both groups decreased significantly. Maximum oxygen uptake increased significantly at the end of period training in both training groups. The levels of TC, LDL-C were significantly decreased only in the LVT, but not in HVT group. Systolic blood pressure level decreased significantly in both groups, but no significant change in diastolic blood pressure was observed.

Eight weeks of aerobic-interval exercise improved cardiovascular factors, liver enzymes and body composition in women with dyslipidemia. Therefore, it is suggested that some of the cardiovascular factors and liver enzymes of women with dyslipidemia may be used for improvement.
