Abstract
Purpose. The purpose of the study was to evaluate changes in adipocytokine concentrations and the correlation between adipocytokines and body fat percentage after endurance training in obese girls. Methods. This was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design, in which 19 overweight girls aged 8–12 years were randomly selected. Anthropometric and blood indices were assessed before and after the intervention. Results. The average leptin level ( p = 0.016) and fat percentage ( p = 0.002) were significantly reduced after 12 weeks of moderate-intensity endurance training, whereas the average adiponectin levels ( p = 0.012) were significantly increased. There was a reverse correlation between adiponectin levels and bMI ( p = 0.018), body fat percentage ( p = 0.015), and leptin concentrations ( p = 0.025). Conclusions. considering the adipocytokine improvement and body fat percentage reduction observed in this study, one can state that moderate-intensity endurance training has a role in the prevention of obesity-related diseases such as metabolic and cardiovascular disease.
