Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the effect of high intensity interval training on adiponectin hormone, Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) and body mass index in women with diabesity.
Methodology: Forty obese women participated in the study were selected from Helwan General Hospital, their age ranged from 40-50 years and their BMI ranged from 30-34.9 kg/m2. They were received high intensity interval training at intensity level of (85-90% of MHR), three times per week for 12 weeks. The BMI, Adiponectin hormone and fasting blood glucose were measured before and after the program.
Results: There was a significant increase of serum adi-ponectin level and a significant reduction of fasting blood glucose and BMI.
Conclusions: The high intensity interval training is an effective tool to decrease insulin resistance and BMI and this effect is mediated, in part, by the increase in adiponectin in women with diabesity wich consequently helps in the treatment of diabesity.
