The Effects of Eight-Weeks Aerobic Training on Serum Leptin Levels, Anthropometric Indices and VO2max in Sedentary Obese Men

Abstract: Introduction: Leptin, generated by the obesity gene, acts as an anti-obesity hormone that plays a key role in regulating weight. We aimed to investigate the effects of eight weeks of selected aerobic training on serum leptin levels, anthropometric indices and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) in obese men. Methods: Twenty healthy elderly men were selected by convenience sampling method and were randomly assigned to control (n = 10) and experimental (n = 10) groups. The program training included 45 minutes pe… Show more

“…Based on the obtained results, only in the aerobic exercise group, the maximum oxygen consumption significantly increased. These results are consistent with the findings of Motamedi et al [29]. However, they are in contrast with the findings of Gelecek et al [30].…”

“…The present study showed that aerobic and resistance training for eight weeks increased VO2max. These results are consistent with the findings of Motamedi et al [26]. Motamedi et al examined the effect of a diet with or without aerobic exercise on anthropometric indices and cardiorespiratory fitness of men aged 25 to 50 years, concluding that eight weeks of aerobic exercise, three sessions per week, with an intensity of 55 to 60 % HRR, comprising brisk walking, jogging, and a combination of simple aerobic steps, increased VO2max levels at the end of the period.…”
