Arak University Cell and Tissue Journal 2228-7035 4 winter 2014 03 01 The Effect of Aerobic Training with Vitamin D Supplementation on Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Obese Women The Effect of Aerobic Training with Vitamin D Supplementation on Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Obese Women 389 396 4982 10.52547/JCT.4.4.389 FA Journal Article 2014 03 16 Aim: Vitamin D has an important role in treatment and prevention of metabolic syndrome which may enhance the benefits of sportive training. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 8 weeks of aerobic training with and without vitamin D supplementation on metabolic syndrome parameters in sedentary women. <br />Material and Methods:In this semi-experimental study with pretest–post designs, thirty obese middle-age women (aged 44.25±5.4 y) were randomly assigned to aerobic training only (RG), vitamin D supplementation (50000IU/w) plus aerobic training (VR) and control (non-exercising=CG) groups. Aerobic training program was performed 50-60 min/d, 3d/wk, for 2 months. Serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, body composition and metabolic parameters were assessed before and after the training period. <br />Results: Vitamin D supplementation increased serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels significantly (<em>p < /em><0.05). Aerobic training caused significant improvement in body weight, waist circumference, HDL-cholesterol, blood glucose and insulin resistance index (<em>p < /em><0.05). Vitamin D supplementation in conjunction with aerobic training lead to greater improvement in adiposity indices, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, blood glucose and insulin resistance index (<em>p < /em><0.05). <br />Conclusion: These results suggest that aerobic training is a safe and effective for improving cardiometabolic health in middle-age women. Also vitamin D combination can enhance some of the beneficial effects of training over a two-month period.</em></em></em> Aim: Vitamin D has an important role in treatment and prevention of metabolic syndrome which may enhance the benefits of sportive training.
