The effects of specific aerobic exercise on leptin serum in athletes men

Overweight is risk factor of deseise relate to life style like diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.Adipose tissue is more than energy reserves and active tissue that secrete adipokines and leptin so also call adipokines .Aim of investigation was effects of specific aerobic exercise on the amount of leptin serum in athletes men .Therefore subjects included thirty athlete that divided two group,experimental(15n) and control(15n). experimental group underwent 8-week specific aerobic exercise program with a frequency of 3 d/w. The exercise consistet of a 60 minute (constant jump rope) training at approximately %65 of the individual maximal reserve heart rate. Leptin serum levels was significantly lower in the experimental group compared with the control group.(0.67 ± 0.28) vs 1.291 ± 0.43). After 8 week training there were 8 significant differences for the levels of leptin in experimental group compared with the control group but after 4 week was not significantly differences . Leptin levels of who exercise regularly were found lower than levels in sedentary group. As regular exercise reduces body fat rate, it also reduces leptin serum.
