Introduction: Obesity control is an important pillar of public health and exercise is recommended for the prevention and treatment of obesity. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of Eryngium billardieri extract consumption and 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 of 25-35 years in Zahedan city, of which 40 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 sampling was performed and tested before and after the exercise and extract consumption protocol. TRX training was performed for eight weeks (three sessions per week) for the experimental groups. In the extract consumption groups, the subjects consumed eight milliliters of the extract daily for eight weeks by dissolving it in 250 milliliters of water after lunch. One-way analysis of variance and t-test were used to compare the means of correlated samples. The significance level of the tests was considered p <0.05 (p<0.05).
Results: Based on the results, the differences between the subjects in the variables of diastolic blood pressure and LDL were statistically significant in other groups except the control group (P=0.00). In the variables of 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); in the variable of systolic blood pressure, the difference between the subjects was significant only in the exercise+placebo group (P=0.00). Also, in the variables of 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.
