Abstract

Obesity is related to an increase in free radicals and oxidative stress or a decrease in the antioxidant capacity of the body. The purpose of this study is the effect of a period of functional exercises with and without chlorella vulgaris supplement on some inflammatory indicators, lipid peroxidation and antioxidants in overweight and obese men.
The present study is a semi-experimental design in which 40 overweight and obese men were selected completely randomly and divided into 4 groups (n=10) including placebo, supplement, placebo+exercise and supplement+exercise. Blood sampling was done in four stages to evaluate TNF-α, hs-CRP, MDA, GPx and SOD variables. Functional exercises were performed for 12 weeks and three sessions per week, each session lasting 60 minutes. Subjects took three 300 mg Chlorella vulgaris capsules daily. Statistical analyzes were performed at a significance level of p≤0.05 using SPSS version 22 software.
The results showed that after adjusting the pre-test scores, the levels of serum TNF-α, hs-CRP, MDA, GPx and SOD in the post-test in the placebo, supplement, exercise exercise+supplement groups have a significant difference (p≤0.05). Comparing the groups, it was observed that the level of serum TNF-α, CRP and MDA in the exercise group was significantly lower than placebo group and the serum level of GPx and SOD in exercise group is higher than placebo group (p≤0.05).
According to the findings of the present study, it seems that chlorella supplement along with functional exercise can reduce the inflammatory and oxidative effects in obese people and increase the antioxidant effects
