Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to determine the effect of rhythmic aerobic exercise with and without curcumin supplementation on some lipid profiles and oxidative stress indicators in inactive overweight and obese women.
Methods: The research participants were 30 inactive overweight and obese women (mean age: 28.9±5.65 years, weight: 79.3±8.99 kg, and BMI 32.6±3.01 kg/m2). After homogeneous grouping based on fat percentage, participants were randomly assigned into two equal groups of 15 people (exercise without supplement group and exercise with supplement group). Both groups performed the rhythmic aerobic exercise protocol for four weeks, four sessions per week, and each session lasted 62-106 minutes with 50-80% of the HRmax intensity. The exercise with supplement group consumed 1000 mg of curcumin tablets (twice a day and 500 mg each time) for four weeks.
Results: The results showed that the increase in HDL in the exercise with supplement group was significantly higher than in the exercise without supplement group, but blood cholesterol in the exercise with supplement group was considerably lower than in the exercise without supplement group (p<0.05). No difference was observed in the malondialdehyde variable between the study groups. Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) was significantly increased in both exercise groups with and without supplementation.
Conclusion: Performing four weeks of rhythmic aerobic exercise along with curcumin supplementation decreases blood cholesterol and increases the HDL and TAC in overweight and obese women.
