Abstract
Obesity and cardiovascular disease contribute significantly to mortality worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of circuit training of different intensities on TWEAK and NOV/CCN3 in obese men.
Methods
44 obese men volunteers were randomly divided into four groups: control (n = 11), low intensity (n = 11), medium intensity (n = 11), and high intensity (n = 11). The circular resistance training protocol included eight upper and lower body circular movements of varying intensity.
High-Intensity Circuit Training, Group: 3 sets of 10 reps at 80% 1RM.
Medium Intensity Circular Resistance Training, Group: 3 sets of 13 reps at 60% 1RM.
Low Intensity Circular Training Group: 3 sets of 20 reps at 40% 1RM.
The training volume was determined using the formula from Bickel et al. calculated. (1994):
Weight × reps × sets = training volume. The rest between sets lasted 2 minutes and was inactive.
Before and 72 hours after the last training session, blood samples were taken for analysis. Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Bonferroni post hoc tests were used for between-group comparisons, and paired t-tests were used for within-group changes.
Results: Intergroup analysis revealed significant differences in TWEAK (p < 0.001), adiponectin (p < 0.001) and NOV/CCN3 (p < 0).001) horizontally. The within-group analysis also showed significant changes in the measured indicators (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: Resistance training of varying intensity has a significant impact on inflammatory markers, suggesting that it may play a role in improving cardiovascular health in obese men.
