Interaction Effect of 8-Week Aerobic Exercise and Omega-3 Fatty Acid Supplementation on Plasma Adiponectin Concentration

Background: scientific evidence indicates the impact of aerobic exercise and omega-3 fatty acids - both –are for the improvement of the cardiovascular system .the purpose of this research was about studies interaction effect of 8 weeks aerobic exercise and omega- 3 fatty acids supplementation on plasma adiponectin concentration of elderly men.materials and methods: in this study, 36 male non-athletes aged were between 50 to 70 year age range of men aged the city of genaveh. statistical sample of 36 male non- athletes in the age range 50 to 70 years old randomly selected in four groups of nine persons, respectively, the first group: exercise supplemental omega-3, group ii: exercise placebo group: supplementation with omega-3 groups quarter: placebo. endurance exercise training program includes 24 sessions and 3 sessions per week, with duration and intensity was determined. (55-70% hrmax). daily supplements of omega-3 fatty acids were 2 capsule. blood samples were taken after fasting 14 hours before the study and 48 hours after the last training session was conducted. the data kolmogrov-smirnov, t-test, one-way anova at significance level of p? 0.05 were analyzed in spss 17. results: the results of research after 8 weeks showed that moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and omega-3 fatty acids supplementation, only increased in the exercise + omega-3 fatty acids group (7.8%) that could not created a significant increase in plasma adiponectin concentration groups. also in final of research did not show a significant difference between groups in compare after 8 weeks. conclusion: the results showed that by aerobic exercise and use of omega-3 fatty acids and increase amounts of adiponectin and its anti boil property, perhaps maybe that, adiponectin by effect of its preservation has a great role in prevention and reduce of cardiovascular diseases.
