Introduction: Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) can be considered as an appropriate criterion predicting coronary heart disease. This study aimed to investigate the effect of eight weeks of resistance band training along with green coffee supplementation on lipid profiles and atherogenic index of plasma in obese women.
Methods: 88 obese women (BMI>30) at the age range of 30-50 years were selected after signing a written consent and randomly assigned to four groups of 22 participants: Green Coffee (GC), Resistance band training with Green Coffee (RBT+GC), resistance band training (RBT) and control (C) groups. The participants in the intervention groups received a 400-mg capsule containing green coffee extract per day and performed resistance band training three sessions a week for eight weeks and ten different exercises were performed in each session. The concentrations of TG, TC, HDL-C, LDL-C and AIP were assessed before and after the training period. Two-way analysis of variance was used to compare the means of the groups.
Results: The results showed that after 8 weeks, the AIP, TG, TC, LDL-C, weight, BMI, and body fat percentage decreased in all three intervention groups (GC, RBT + GC and RBT). However, there was no significant difference among the groups (p>5%). AIP showed a significant decrease in both groups of RBT + CG and RBT. However, there was no significant difference between the groups (p>5%).
Conclusion: Although eight weeks of resistance band training with green coffee supplementation have a positive effect on change processes of body composition, lipid profiles and atherogenic index of plasma, the effect was not significant.
