Effects of Aerobic-Resistance Training and Nutritional Intervention on Adiponectin, Interleukin-6, and hs-CRP Concentrations in Men with Abdominal Obesity—A Randomized Controlled Trial
Randomized controlled trial reveals nutritional intervention significantly reduces inflammatory markers in men with abdominal obesity.
Key Points
Aerobic-resistance training combined with nutrition significantly increases adiponectin levels while reducing inflammatory markers.
Men engaging in combined aerobic-resistance exercise and dietary intervention saw a 30% reduction in hs-CRP and 48% drop in IL-6 concentrations.
Body composition improved significantly, shown by reductions in visceral fat and overall body fat, emphasizing the effectiveness of lifestyle modifications.
Dietary changes, including increased protein and fiber intake, significantly contributed to improved metabolic outcomes like reduced insulin resistance.
