Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of twelve weeks of combined exercise training on CTRP3, TNF-α, IL6 and insulin resistance in women with type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six patients were divided into three groups, i.e. The control group (38.20±3.11 years), the aerobic-resistance combined exercise group(37.63±3.69 year) and the resistanc...

Background: Overweight and obesity, as physical disorders, can threaten health in different ways. Regular exercise (training) is defined as an improving factor for body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness in overweight and obese people. However, the intensity of exercise, as one of the training principles, for attaining the highest fat burning effect, is still challenged. This paper revie...
