Effects of Ten Weeks of Aerobic Interval Training and Four Weeks Detraining on Plasma Adiponectin Level in Male Student Non-Athletes

Background: Adipose a protein secreted by adipose tissue that plays an important role in inflammatory mechanisms and hyperglycemia. Objectives: This study investigated the effect of 10 weeks aerobic interval training and 4 weeks detraining on plasma adiponectin levels in young male non-athletes. Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 26 male non-athlete students of Sistan and Baluchestan university were selected randomly and were divided into two groups. The experimental group carried out the aerobic interval training for 10 weeks, three times a week with an intensity of 55 to 85 (HRmax). Then subjects experience 4 weeks of detraining so the effects could be investigated. After 14 hours of fasting, blood samples were taken at different stages of the same condition and plasma adiponectin levels were measured using adiponectin kit manufactured by BOSTER company in America. The data were analyzed using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test ANOVA with repeated measurements LSD post hoc test and t-test at a significance level of P ? 0.05 Results: The results showed that 10 weeks of aerobic interval training led to a significant increase in plasma adiponectin levels in the experimental group compared to the control group (P = 0.001). The results also showed that after 4 weeks of detraining, the level of adiponectin was significantly reduced due to the discontinuation of the exercise (P = 0.001). Conclusions: We can conclude that aerobic interval as an effective and beneficial training method with more variety and less fatigue, with a significant increase in plasma adiponectin, cardiovascular protective factor, has a preventive effect on cardiovascular disease.
