Abstract :
the aim of this study was to compare the effect of aerobic and nonlinear resistance training on inflammatory factors and its relationship with pain and function in overweight women with osteoarthritis of the knee. 21 women aged 50 to 60 years with knee osteoarthritis were randomly divided into three groups of aerobic exercise, nonlinear resistance training and control (7 people in each group). Exercises were performed for12 weeks (3 sessions per week). Before and after the training period, the subjects were measured for pain and motor function and blood samples were taken from three groups after the 12-hour fasting period and levels of CRP and TNF-α were measured for each sample. Both types of exercises significantly reduced weight, BMI, pain and TNF-α and CRP levels and significantly improved motor function in women with osteoarthritis of the knee (P<0.05), but no significant difference was observed between the two types of exercise (P>0.05). Also, with decreasing inflammation, pain decreased and motor function increased (P<0.05). Training with weight loss and inflammatory factors in overweight women with osteoarthritis of the knee can reduce pain and improve motor function in these women. There is probably no significant difference between the effect of aerobic and nonlinear resistance training in this area.
