Abstract
Introduction: Asprosin, a novel adipokine, has been implicated in glucose regulation, insulin production, and obesity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of Pilates training on serum asprosin levels in overweight young women.
Methods: In this study, 20 inactive overweight women with a BMI above 25 between the ages of 25 -35 were randomly selected and divided into two groups: Pilates group (N=10) and control group (N=10). The Protocol of Pilates training group was three sessions that conducted in 3 sessions in a week and at each session for 60 minutes (50-70% Maximum Heart Rate), including situational exercises, natural status identification, cooling, stretching and balance, breathing endurance and power. Before and after 48 hours after the intervention, anthropometric measurement including height, weight, BMI (body mass index) and blood samples were taken from the subjects to evaluate the biochemical factors of asprosin, insulin, and glucose. In order to analyze the information, SPSS version 26 was used in two sections: descriptive statistics and t-independent test were used to analyze the data and in case of differences between groups.
Results: 8 weeks of Pilates training changed the BMI of young overweight women (P= 0.006). Also, 8 weeks of Pilates training resulted in a significant reduction in asprosin (P=0.001). Eight weeks of Pilates training had a significant effect on glucose (P≤ 0.05). Insulin levels (P=0.40) and insulin resistance (P=0.162) did not change significantly after 8 weeks of intervention.
Conclusion: Eight weeks of Pilates training significantly reduced asprosin and BMI, glucose levels. According to the results of this study, it can be said with caution that asprosin can be a biomarker for early diagnosis of obesity.
