Abstract

Aim: The aim of was to investigate the effects of 10 weeks of aerobic training on both IL-6 and IL-17 serum levels, quality of life and self-esteem in overweight young women. Methods: 15 overweight female students (BMI: 25-32 and age: 19-30 years) were randomly divided into two groups of training and control. Aerobic training was conducted for 10 weeks, three sessions/week at 55% to 75% of resting heart rate for 30-45 min/session. Blood sampling and Vo2max measurements were done prior to and also following the training period. Moreover, self-esteem, quality of life and body image questionnaires were also completed in both occasions. Independent and paired samples t tests were used to analyze the data. Results: Aerobic training improved body image and aerobic fitness level, in spite of no effects on inflammatory indices o=in overweight women. Conclusion: Aerobic training improves body image and aerobic fitness levels, both are likely involved in quality of life, however, no effects were observed for inflammatory status.
