Introduction: The various physiologic stresses makes the states of illness that includes injuries and disconnectings on proteins. The aim of this study was to survey the effect of Omega-3 consumption on heat shock protein response after one session running and cycling activity in overweight inactive young women.
Methodology: For this purpose, twenty overweight women in the age group of 35 to 40 and body mass index (BMI) of 25 to 30 were selected in sampling method and were randomly divided into 2 groups of 10 people and started the aerobic exercise on a treadmill or pedaling on a stationary bike running at 75% of maximum heart rate for the same time 12 minutes uniformly. Then the supplement was used during four weeks, daily intake of 1000 mg Tartibian et al. (2010). Blood samples were taken in four stages: 1- before activity without Omega-three usage 2- after activity and without Omega-three usage 3- after supplementation Omega-three and before activity 4- after supplementation Omega-three and after activity. Data analysis was conducted at a significant level of P=0.05 by independent t-test, frequent variance, the follow-up LSD test.
Results: The results showed that the HSP72 level in running group in stages two and three was significantly higher than stage one (P=0.011). But there was no significant difference between stages three and four (P=0.051). Between HSP72 levels in various stages of research, there was no significant difference (F=0.584) and (P=0.503). In comparison with the groups, it was showed that there is no significant difference between running activity and cycling activity with or without omega-three (P>0.05).
Discussion: Marshall et al. (2006) announced 1 to 16 times increasing of this proteins in aerobic exercises. According to the findings of this study, it can be concluded that one session aerobic running activity has a beneficial effect on the levels of HSP72 in overweight women, but the cycling activity has no effect on the level of this protein. So endurance running activity can be considered as a protection strategy, also moderated the omega-three supplementation on HSP72 response.
