Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the
effect of the type of exercise on lipid profile and
adiponectin level in sedentary young men by 24-hour
follow up exercise. Thirty young males with normal body
mass index (BMI) were selected randomly and assigned to
three groups: aerobic (30 min activity with 60 to 70%
maximum oxygen uptake), resistance (3 sets of 10
repetitions at 70% of one maximum repetition), and
concurrent (aerobic exercise for 20 min and resistance
exercise for 2 sets) exercise. Lipid and adiponectin
profiles were measured before and 24-hour after exercise.
Results indicated that the type of exercise had an
effect on the lipid response but did not have an effect on
the concentration of adiponectin. The concentrations of
cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol
(HDL-C) in resistance group reduced significantly 24-
hour after exercise in comparison to the basic values
(p<0,05). Moreover, the low-density lipoprotein
cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration also reduced but it was
not significant. The type of exercise had no effect on
triglyceride (TG) response. However, when group's data
combined, there was a significant reduction in TG
concentration. Based on the results, it is concluded that the
adiponectin responses to exercise are independent of the
type of exercise but resistance exercise has more positive
effects on changes in lipid profile than aerobic and
concurrent exercises.
