Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of resistance training with leucine supplementation on adipokine and inflammatory response in college-aged obese men. Thirty collegeaged obese man were randomly assigned to resistance training group(RT group, n=15), and resistance training with leucine supplementation group(RTL group, n=15). The experiments were performed after taking consent form from each subjects. Resistance training program was consisted of bench press, leg press and curl, back squat, and deadlift. Participants performed resistance training three days per week for 4 weeks. Exercise intensity of this resistance training was 75% 1RM of each exercise program. Body weight showed significant difference between time in the both group. % body fat and fat mass showed significant difference between time in the RT group(p.05). Blood level of leptin decreased after 4 weeks resistance training in RT groups(p.05), however blood level of adiponectin increased after 4 weeks resistance training in both groups. The blood level of TNF-α decreased after 4 weeks resistance training in RT group(p.05), but the blood level of IL-6 was not changed after 4 weeks resistance training in both groups(p.05). In conclusion, regularly resistance training have positive effects on body composition, adipokine, and TNF-α.
