Introduction: Obesity control is an important pillar of public health, and exercise is recommended for its prevention and treatment. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of Eryngium billardieri extract consumption and total-body resistance exercise (TRX) training on lipid profile and some cardiovascular risk factors in inactive obese and overweight women.
Methods: In this semi-experimental study, the statistical population was obese and overweight women aged 25-35 years in Zahedan city, Iran; among them, 40 women were selected as a sample in a purposeful and accessible manner and randomly assigned to four groups (10 people): exercise+extract consumption, exercise+placebo, extract consumption, and control. Blood samples were collected and tested before and after the exercise and extract consumption protocol. The TRX training was performed for eight weeks (three sessions per week) for the experimental groups. In the extract consumption groups, the subjects consumed 8 mL of the extract daily for eight weeks by dissolving it in 250 mL of water after lunch. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test were used to compare the means of correlated samples. The significance level for the tests was considered to be P<0.05.
Results: The differences between subjects in diastolic blood pressure and LDL were statistically significant in all groups except the control group (P=0.00). Regarding the variables weight, BMI, WHR, HDL, CHOL, and TG, the differences between the subjects were significant only in the exercise+placebo and exercise+extract groups (P=0.01); regarding the systolic blood pressure variable, the difference between the subjects was significant only in the exercise+placebo group (P=0.00). Moreover, regarding the variables weight, BMI, WHR, LDL, TG, CHOL, and diastolic blood pressure, the difference between the means in the post-test of the studied groups was significant (P=0.04)
Conclusion: It seems that the use of Eryngium billardieri extract and TRX training as a strategy to modify cardiovascular risk factors can be considered as an effective intervention method. However, in addition to the findings of the present study, further research is recommended in this field.
