The effect of different intensity walking programs on resistin and visfatin levels in pre-menopausal women

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was to examine the effect of two different intensity (walking speeds) walking programs on resistin and visfatin levels in pre-menopausal women. Material and Methods: Thirty-seven pre-menopausal women (30-49 years) were divided into a high-intensity walking group (HIWG; n=12), a moderate-intensity walking group (MIWG; n=14), and a control group (CG; n=11). The exercise groups walked for twelve weeks, five days per week from 30-60min/day. The HIWG and MIWG walked at 70-75% and 50-55% maximum heart rate reserve, respectively. Body weight, percent body fat, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), glucose, insulin, resistin, and visfatin were measured; the HOMA-IR (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance) index was calculated before and after the study. Results: VO2max improved in both exercise groups (p
