The Effect of Eight Weeks Pilates Training On Irisin Serum Levels and Insulin Resistance Index in Obese Women

Document Type : original article

Abstract

Abstract
Aim: Irisin is a novel myokine, adipokine and neurokine that recently discovered in humans and mice. Evidence suggests that Irisin is associated with obesity and diabetes. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of 8-weeks Pilates training programs on serum irisn levels and insulin resistance index in obese women.
Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 24 obese women (mean age 38/4±8/61 years and BMI 35/6±2/95 kg/m2) volunteered to participate in this study and were randomly divided into Pilates group (n=15) and control group (n=9). Pilates training program performed in 8 weeks, 3 times per week, and 14-16 RPE. Blood samples were collected before and after training. Data were analyzed with paired-sample t-test and ANCOVA.
Results: The results indicated no significant changes in blood glucose, insulin, insulin resistance index and serum Irisin levels in Pilate’s group compared with the control group after 8 weeks (p≥0.05). Furthermore, correlation was not between Irisin to BMI, weight, glucose, insulin, and insulin resistance index (p≥0.05).
Conclusion: This finding revealed that 8 weeks Pilates training cannot be considerable impact on glucose, insulin, insulin resistance index and serum Irisin levels in obese women.
