Effects of a Circuit Training Program on Myokine Levels in Insulin-Resistant Women
Study Overview
This study examined how circuit training affects myokine levels in women with insulin resistance. Myokines are substances released by muscles that help regulate glucose metabolism.
Methodology
We conducted a controlled trial with 42 women, dividing them into two groups:
- Training Group: Participated in circuit training for 3 months, with three 33-minute sessions each week. This included both strength and endurance exercises.
- Control Group: Maintained their usual activity without any changes.
We measured body composition and myokine levels (IL-6, IL-10, FGF21, and irisin) before and after the program.
Results
The training group showed a significant increase in serum IL-6 levels compared to the control group. However, there were no significant changes in IL-10, FGF21, and irisin levels between the groups.
Conclusion
The circuit training program effectively increased IL-6 levels in women with insulin resistance, highlighting its potential benefits for managing this condition.
