Key result
Circuit resistance training significantly reduces inflammatory markers and insulin resistance vs. control in obese men.
Why the study?
The beneficial role of circuit resistance training in improving inflammatory biomarkers and cardiometabolic risk factors in obese individuals is not well understood.
Does progressive circuit resistance training improve inflammatory biomarkers and insulin resistance in obese young men?
RCT (n=30)
Does progressive circuit resistance training improve inflammatory biomarkers and insulin resistance in obese young men?
p-value: p=<0.05
An 8-week progressive circuit resistance training program improves inflammatory biomarkers, lipid profiles, and insulin resistance in young obese men.

May improve inflammation and insulin resistance in obese young men; hypothesis-generating and requires larger randomized confirmation.
Kolahdouzi et al. (2018) conducted an RCT in Obesity (n=30). Progressive circuit resistance training (CRT) vs. Control group was evaluated on Inflammatory biomarkers and cardiometabolic risk factors including chemerin, SAA, and insulin resistance (p=<0.05). Progressive circuit resistance training significantly reduced chemerin (P=0.038), serum amyloid A (P=0.004), and insulin resistance (P<0.001) compared to control in obese young men.
