The Effect of Eight Weeks of High-Intensity Interval Training on C۱q/TNF۵ Serum Levels and Insulin Resistance in Obese Men

C۱q/TNF۵ is a protein belonging to the C۱q/TNF group, playing a role in glucose metabolism. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of high-intensity interval training on C۱q/TNF۵ levels in obese men. In a semi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design, ۲۴ obese men (BMI: ۳۲.۳ ± ۱.۱ kg/m², age: ۳۴.۷ ± ۲.۶ years) were purposefully selected. Participants were randomly divided into equal control and experimental groups. The experimental group underwent eight weeks of high-intensity interval training (three sessions per week). Blood samples were collected from both groups before and after the eight-week exercise intervention under fasting conditions. The data were analyzed using independent and paired t-tests (p < ۰.۰۵). After eight weeks of high-intensity interval training, a significant reduction was observed in serum levels of C۱q/TNF۵ (p = ۰.۰۰۱). Additionally, insulin resistance index significantly decreased (p = ۰.۰۰۴). Overall, it appears that eight weeks of high-intensity interval training can lead to improvements in insulin resistance and glucose metabolism in obese men.
