Effect of Interval Resistance Training With Different Intensities on Some Selected Adipokines in Obese Men

Objective: adipose tissue-derived adipokines affect cardiometabolic health. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of interval resistance training with different intensities on leptin, adiponectin, and acrosin levels in obese males.materials and methods: fourty-four obese males (27.70± 3.02 years) were randomly allocated into four groups: high intensity (hi), moderate intensity (mi), low intensity (li), and control (c). subjects of the hi, mi, and li groups implemented the training program for 12 weeks, three sessions a week with intensities corresponding 80% 1rm, 60% 1rm, and 40% 1rm,, respectively. body composition and plasma levels of leptin, adiponectin, and asprosin were evaluated before and after interval resistance training at different intensities.results: following exercise, serum levels of leptin and asporin were significantly reduced in all groups (p< 0.01). the greatest reduction of leptin and asporin levels was recorded in the hi group (p= 0.001, p= 0.01) for leptin and asporsin levels, respectively. the level of adiponectin significantly decreased after exercise in all groups (p< 0.001, f= 12.44). the greatest reduction was observed in the hi group compared with the mi and ui group (p= 0.001).conclusion: interval resistance training with different intensities can cause significant changes in leptin, asprosin, and adiponectin levels in obese men, and this improvement was better at high intensities.
