Abstract
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) has prioritized the prevention and reduction of obesity as a key public health agenda and recommends that countries make significant improvements to address the current obesity trend. Sports activity causes many changes in immune performance parameters in obese people, but the nature and amount of such changes depend on several factors, including the safety parameters studied, the type, intensity and duration of the sports activity, the level of physical fitness and sports background of the participants. It depends on environmental factors such as ambient temperature and blood sampling time. In general, the amount of change in each safety parameter is a function of the dose or the amount of pressure of sports activity (intensity and duration).
Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to examine the comparison of high intensity functional training (HIFT) and high intensity interval training (HIIT) on interleukin-10 and CRP factors in obese women.
Methodology: In this semi-experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design, 30 obese women were purposefully selected from among the obese women of Khorram Abad city and were randomly assigned to three groups of HIFT, HIIT and control. Blood samples were taken from the participants in the pre-test (24 hours before the intervention) and the post-test (48 hours after the intervention) after 10 hours of fasting. The training phase was done in eight weeks and three sessions every week. During this time, the control group did their daily activities; while the training groups started to perform the desired exercises. Data were analyzed using covariance analysis and Benferoni's post hoc test.
Results: The results of the present study showed that both HIFT and HIIT training have a significant effect on increasing interleukin-10 and decreasing CRP in obese women (p<0.05). Other results of the current research indicated the superiority of HIFT compared to HIIT training in the mentioned indicators (p<0.05).
Conclusion: In general, the results of the present study showed that performing HIFT training in a more favorable way can lead to the improvement of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors in obese women.
