Prior to، after، and 3 months later than each intervention، all participants'' weight، height، and lipid profile were measured. Data analysis with 16th version of SPSS and applying with repeated measures analysis of variances method revealed that both interventions could significantly decrease the weight، TG and TC (P<0. 05)، and HDL were increased significantly (P<0. 05)، too.
