Abstract :
the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of eight weeks of ketogenic diet combined with resistance training on serum adropine levels and insulin resistance in overweight women. 40 women aged 30 to 40 years in Mashhad with a body mass index of more than 25 but less than 30 were purposefully selected and participated in this study voluntarily. After selecting the subjects, they were randomly divided into four groups: resistance training, ketogenic diet, resistance training + ketogenic diet and control (10 people in each group). Interventions were applied for four weeks. The results showed that only the effect of diet on weight loss, BMI, WHR, fat percentage and body fat mass was significant (P <0.05) but the effect of exercise and the interactive effect of exercise and diet were not significant (P> 0.05). Also, the results showed that the effect of exercise and the interactive effect of exercise and diet on reducing glucose, insulin and insulin resistance were significant (P <0.05) but the effect of diet was not significant (P> 0.05). Finally, the results showed that the effect of exercise and the interactive effect of exercise and diet on increasing adropin was significant (P <0.05) but the effect of diet was not significant (P> 0.05). A four-week ketogenic diet will probably improve the body composition of overweight women. Meanwhile, resistance training without changing weight and body fat seems to increase adropine and improve insulin resistance.
