Circulating chemerin decreases in response to a combined strength and endurance training.

Chemerin is an adipokine that may mediate the link between obesity, inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease. In this study, we examined the association between chemerin and various cardiometabolic risk factors in cross-sectional setting and tested the hypothesis that a 6-month combined exercise program decreases serum chemerin in overweight or obese, non-diabetic individuals. Serum chemerin concentration was measured in a cross-sectional analysis including 98 individuals with a wide range of age and body mass index (BMI).

Effects of supervised vs non-supervised combined aerobic and resistance exercise programme on cardiometabolic risk factors.

Objective: We examined the effect of a 6-month combined aerobic and resistance training programme on cardiometabolic risk factors in nondiabetic subjects and compared its effectiveness when executed under strict professional supervision or without direct supervision.

Methods: Eighty-five sedentary, non-diabetic subjects (27 men and 58 women), mean age 47.5 +/- 0.
