Abstract
[b]Aim of the study.[/b] Investigating the effect of aerobic training on inflammatory markers of cardiovascular disease risk in obese men. [b]Material and methods.[/b] In the research program participated 24 male subjects in the 35–48 age range (12 obese and 12 with the appropriate body weight), who were assigned either to the aerobic training perform-ers or to control group. Blood samples (5 cc) were taken in fasting state from all subjects. To the members of experimental group a 13-week aerobic training, included 3 sessions per week and consisted of continuous running (in gymnasium) with an intensity of 75–85% maximal heart rate, was implemented.[b]Results and conclusions.[/b] Aerobic training caused a significant decrease in the serum CRP and WBC levels of the obese men (α = 0.05). The authors concluded that aerobic training caused a decrease in the inflamma-tory markers and probably could decrease future cardiovascular risk in obese men.
