Introduction:Physical exercise is well recognized as an important strategy for reducing
the risk of chronic disease via improving the inflammatory profile. This study
examined and compared the influence of three sessions versus five sessions of aerobic
training per week on serum levels of C - reactive protein (CRP) and fibrinogen,
and lipids profile in young sedentary obese men. Materials and Methods:This study was an applied one with semi-experimental design. Participants
included 28 sedentary obese men (BMI: 30.8±2.81 kg/m2,mean aged: 21 years),
which were randomly assigned to control group and two training groups: three
sessions of running training (50-75% of
heart rate reserve) per week for 50-60
minutes in each session, and five sessions per week for 30-40 minutes in each session. Both groups
were trainined for a priod 16 weeks. Serum levels of CRP, fibrinogen, and
lipids profile and anthropometric indices were measured before and 48 hours
after the last training session. Results: Although three sessions of aerobic training perweek significantly
changed the body composition (P
