Abstract

We investigated the effect of the regular combined exercise training for the body composition, serum lipid, metabolic syndrome factor and carotid artery and brachial artery luminal diameter in 50 years men in metabolic syndrome. The combined exercise training included resistance training(65%RM for first 6 weeks 15 frequency 75%RM for another 6 weeks 15 frequency) and aerobic exercise (50%HRR for first 6 weeks and 70%HRR for another 6weeks). The results showed that %body fat, total cholesterol and LDL-C were significantly decreased and lean body mass and apolipoprotein A-I were significantly increase in combined training group but body weight, BMI, WHR, insulin and HOMA-IR did not change. Waist circumference, triglyceride, fasting glucose, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were significantly decreased and high density lipoprotein cholesterol was significantly increased in combined training group. Also, carotid artery luminal diameter and brachial artery luminal diameter were significantly increased in combined training group but carotid artery intima-media and radial artery luminal dimeter did not change. In conclusion, we could find that the combined exercise training could improve the body composition, serum lipid, lipoprotein and metabolic syndrome factor in combined exercise training group. So, regular combined exercise training could positive change of carotid artery through increase carotid artery luminal diameter and brachial artery luminal diameter.
