Abstract

Disorders of lipid profile and inflammatory markers are the most important factors that cause cardiovascular disease. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the effect of a six-week resistance training with and without vascular occlusion on changes in fibrinogen, lipids, and lipoprotein levels in young girls. Materials & Methods: A total of 36 female students of physical education with an average age of 20.51 ±1.39 years and BMI of 23.32 ± 2.79 kg/m2 were divided into three groups: resistance training without occlusion (exercise at 75% of one-repetition maximum or 1 RM), resistance training with vascular occlusion (exercise at 30% of 1 RM with a fastening tourniquet around the proximal arm), and a control group. Both training exercise groups performed a six-week training program consisting of three sessions per week. Then, creatine kinase (CK) levels, lipid profiles, and blood fibrinogen were measured by photometric, enzymatic, and ELISA methods, respectively. Results: After six weeks of resistance training, CK levels were significantly different in both training groups (p < 0.05). Fibrinogen (FIB), triglyceride (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), and cholesterol (COL) decreased significantly in both treatment groups compared to control group, but these changes were not statistically significant between the three groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion: In our research, resistance training could probably improve cardiovascular health and metabolic states to change the fat as a kind of prevention against such diseases, hence, promotion of women's health should be taken into account
