Abstract
The Changes of Homocysteine Serum Level and Body Mass Index of Overweight Young Women after Eight Weeks of Pilates Exercise
Highlights
Homocysteine is associated with microalbuminuria, which is a serious indicator of the risk factor of cardiovascular disease and known to mediate heart attack, the risk of arterial artery problems such as atherosclerosis
The findings indicate that homocysteine protein expression levels were significantly increased after 8 weeks Pilates exercise among overweight women compared to control group or pretest (P=0.001)
The results indicate that homocysteine mRNA expression levels were significantly increased after 8 weeks Pilates exercise among overweight women compared to control group or pretest (P=0.0001)
Summary
20 women who were eligible to take part in the study were selected from the volunteers and divided into two groups of control and Pilates exercise group. BMI and after 12 hours of overnight fasting, the amount of homocysteine level was measured. Pilates exercise group participated in eight weeks of Pilates exercise (3 sessions per week). The control group was barred from regular physical activity. At the end of the eighth week, BMI and homocysteine protein and mRNA level of both groups were measured. T-test was used for comparing pre-test and post-test. Independent t-test was used for between-group comparison of indices in pre and post-test stages.
