Article Synopsis
- Obesity is a complex condition linked to excessive fat accumulation, especially in the abdominal area, which can harm health by increasing inflammation.
- This study focused on 12 sedentary, overweight, and obese young men and assessed the effects of one strength training session on their blood levels of resistin and leptin, two important adipokines.
- Results showed that the strength training significantly decreased resistin levels one hour post-exercise, while leptin levels remained unchanged, suggesting that exercise may help reduce inflammation and improve insulin resistance in overweight and obese individuals.
