Effects of 8 weeks of moderate physical training on body composition, lipid profile, inflammatory markers, and physical activity in middle aged females.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Moderate physical training is widely recommended for reducing cardiovascular risk in adults. However, its effects on body composition, lipid metabolism, inflammatory markers, and physical activity levels, along with the potential use of cytokines as biomarkers for evaluating training effectiveness, in middle-aged and older adults (30-60 years) remain to be investigated.

Methods

Participants aged 30-60 years underwent an 8-week of moderate-intensity aerobic training (MAT) program. Pre- and post-intervention assessments included body mass index (BMI); fat mass, muscle mass. Oxidative stress markers (superoxide dismutase [SOD] and catalase). Inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-22, TNF-α [Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha], MCP-1[Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein
