- Abstract
Physical activity is known to influence and regulate leptin hormone secretion, which assists in the regulation of body weight and energy homeostasis. The purpose of this study was to the effects of a single session of concurrent exercise on leptin levels and insulin resistance, until 24 h post-exercise. In semi-experimental study, ten male subjects (22.9±1.7 years) healthy volunteer performed a single session of concurrent aerobic and resistance exercise (Aerobic exercise: 60%-70% of their maximal oxygen up take for 20 min and resistance exercise: 2 sets of 10 repetitions at 70% of 1 repetition maximum). Leptin, glucose, insulin and insulin resistance index were measured before and 24 h after exercise. Significant difference was observed between serum leptin levels (5.75±1.06 ng.ml-1 vs, 5.06±0.62), insulin resistance index (1.21±0.18, vs. 1.03±0.13) and insulin concentration (6.02±0.54 UΙμ.ml-1 vs, 5.30±0.44). However, serum glucose levels (4.52±0.27 mmol.l-1 vs., 4.37±0.36) remained unchanged before and 24 h post-exercise. Significant correlations was observed between insulin resistance index to insulin levels and glucose and also between serum leptin to insulin levels and insulin resistance index, Obtained results of this study showed that a bout concurrent exercise could improve glycemic indexes in sedentary males; therefore, it is suggested to use this exercise as a preventive method for insulin resistance disorders.
