The Combined Effect of Polarized Exercise and Carvil Supplement on Metabolic Syndrome and Lipid Profile in Obese Women

Using the best exercise protocol along with taking herbal supplements is one of the methods of managing weight loss and related disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the interaction effect of polarized exercise with Carvil supplement on lipid profile and metabolic syndrome of obese women.

24 obese women were randomly placed in 3 groups (exercise), (supplement) and (exercise with supplement). The participants of the (exercise with supplement) and (supplement) groups received Carvil three times a day and 2 hours before doing the exercises. Polarized exercises were performed for 4 weeks and 3 sessions per week. Physiological and anthropometric indicators as well as biochemical values ​​were evaluated before the start of training and after the last training session. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 27 software at the significance level (P<0.05).

The results showed that weight, body mass index, and fat mass index were significantly reduced in two groups (exercise with supplements) and (exercise). There was a significant decrease in LDL in the (supplemented with exercise) group, but it was not statistically significant in the other groups due to the observed decreasing trend. A decrease in triglyceride, blood sugar, cholesterol, HDL and insulin levels was observed in all groups, although this decrease was not significant. There was a significant difference in systolic blood pressure in the group (supplemented with exercise) and diastolic blood pressure in the group (supplemented) (P<0.05).

Polarized exercise with Carvil supplement can be effective in improving lipid profile and metabolic syndrome in obese women. However, determining the mechanism and nature of the effect of these exercises along with supplement consumption on lipid profile and metabolic syndrome requires more studies.
