Simultaneous effect of resistance training and Garcin consumption on the concentration of lipoproteins, cholesterol and blood sugar in overweight men

Inactivity causes adverse changes in appearance, such as metabolic obesity, such as disturbance in the fat profile. Studies have shown that exercises and Garcin administration improve the conditions of metabolic factors related to overweight. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the combined prescription of resistance exercises and Garlic consumption on the concentration of lipoproteins, triglycerides and cholesterol in inactive overweight men. Forty healthy and inactive young men (18 to 35 years old) with a body mass index higher than 25 to 30 kg/m2 were randomly divided into 4 homogeneous groups: 1) exercise + garcin, 2) garcin, 3) resistance training and 4) Controls were divided. Garcin was prescribed in the form of 500 mg tablets for 8 weeks, two times a day (morning and night, after dinner) and the exercise protocol included weight training for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week for 30-60 minutes with an intensity of 70-80 The power percentage was maximum. Serum concentrations of HDL, LDL, TG, glucose and total cholesterol were measured before and after 8 weeks. For data analysis, one-way variance test and Bonferroni's post hoc test were used at a significant level (p0.05). Resistance training and garcin alone as well as combined administration caused a significant decrease in the concentration of LDL, TG and glucose and a significant increase in the concentration of HDL in the blood (P0.05). A significant difference was observed between the combined group (exercise and garcin) with the exercise group or the garcin group alone. So that the combined administration of these two led to better results (P0.05). Based on the findings of the present study, it can be concluded that the simultaneous consumption of garlic and resistance training may have positive metabolic effects on the fat profile of overweight people. Also, the results of this research can be cautiously assumed to be effective in reducing cardiovascular diseases related to lipoprotein imbalance.
