Introduction and One of the common signs of old age is a 2-4 times increase in the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a course of TRX exercises on cardiovascular parameters PTX3, CRP, IL-18 in overweight elderly men. In this semi-experimental study, 30 overweight elderly men participated and were randomly divided into two TRX training groups (15 people) and control (15 people). The experimental group performed exercises for 12 weeks and 3 sessions each week for 60 minutes (10 minutes of warm-up, 40 minutes of training and 10 minutes of cooling down). Blood samples were collected in two pre-test stages and 48 hours after the last training session to measure the serum levels of PTX3, CRP and IL-18. The data were analyzed using covariance and paired t test at a significant level of P≤0.05. TRX exercises caused a significant decrease in serum levels of PTX3, CRP, IL-18 in the post-test of the experimental group (P≤0.05).Discussion and It seems that this type of exercise can reduce inflammatory markers CRP and IL-18 in elderly people. These exercises are suggested as an effective factor in improving cardiovascular risk factors related to aging.
