  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. Manuscript profile

  the aim of the current research was the effect of a simple pyramid resistance training session with BCAA supplementation on IGF-1 levels during different periods of time in postmenopausal women. The current research was semi-experimental and applied. A total of 19 inactive postmenopausal women were selected. At first, the subjects were given the necessary information about the objectives and method of conducting the research, and each subject completed the consent form, physical activity and medical-sports readiness questionnaire. Then the subjects were randomly divided into two groups of simple + supplement pyramid resistance training (10 people) (age 52.20 ± 5.70 years, height 1.57 ± 0.01 cm and weight 88.76 ± 14.81 kg), Simple pyramid resistance training group + placebo (9 people) (age 50.89±4.25 years, height 1.60±0.01 cm and average weight 88.76±7.41 kg) were divided. The resistance training program was a pyramid with an intensity of 70-80% of one repetition maximum. The simple pyramid resistance training group + supplement consumed 0.1 gram per kilogram of body weight of BCAA powder in solution. Serum IGF-1 levels were measured before, 30 and 120 minutes after exercise. Two-way repeated measures statistical test was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that a simple pyramid resistance training session with BCAA supplementation has no effect on IGF-1 serum levels at different training times of postmenopausal women. Also, the difference between the groups in the level of IGF-1 after exercise was not significant. Probably, a simple pyramid resistance training session with and without BCAA supplementation at the rate of 0.1 gram per kilogram of body weight before and after training has no effect on the initial increase of IGF-1.
