Background:
The purpose of this study is to assess the combined exercise programs (12 weeks' physical exercise training, resistance and aerobic) and 6 weeks' detraining on the correlation of metabolic syndrome (MS) markers and plasma adiponectin level in two groups.
Methods:
Participants were divided into two groups [physical exercise training group (EG, = 8) and control group (CG, = 7)]. The EG performed a 12-week training program (aerobic and resistance training twice/wk, more than 40 min/d). After 12 weeks' exercise training and 6 weeks' detraining, we also evaluated MS markers and plasma adiponectin at three time periods (baseline, EBP; 12 weeks' exercise program, 12 EP; 12 weeks' and 6 weeks' detraining, 12 + 6 EDP) in overweight and obese children.
Results:
Compared with the CG, After the 12 weeks' exercise treatment, weight, body mass index (BMI), waist girth, percent body fat, lean body mass (LBM), percentage lean body, systolic blood pressure, and insulin and homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) indices were lowered in the EG, and plasma adiponectin levels were not altered in the EG. After 6 weeks' detraining, insulin, insulin resistance, and plasma adiponectin levels were significantly increased in the EG. In the adiponectin level, there were positive correlations with LBM and percent lean body and negative correlations with percent body fat, insulin, and insulin resistance after 12 weeks' physical exercise intervention and 6 weeks' detraining.
Conclusion:
These findings suggest that combined physical training is a useful tool in the management of MS markers in the training periods. Moreover, there was an additive effect even after the 6-weeks detraining period.
