Introduction: Obesity and chronic diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer, and blood lipid disorders, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in obese patients respectively. In Iran the prevalence of cardiovascular disease and its mortality is increasing rapidly, so by correcting dyslipidemia in overweight people can be helped to reduce this type of mortality.
Methodology: In this study, 30 young men (20 to 25 years) were overweight, with a BMI of 25 to-be non-random, targeted and volunteered to participate were randomly into 3 groups (resistance training, resistance training+consumption pectin apples and apple pectin control + consumption) were divided. The participants in the resistance training group, 8 weeks of resistance with 65 to 95% of one repetition maximum with the frequency of 3 days per weeks. Subjects exercise consumption of pectin from apples, in addition to these training, during training for 8 weeks, 35 mg of pectin apples for snacks, water consumption, the variable total cholesterol (TC) in pretest and post-test were measured. control + subjects taking apple pectin as well as experimental groups were tested in two stages, with the difference that for apple pectin control + consumption at this time, the exercise was not considered. The comparison between the mean values of a variable analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey test to determine the differences between groups (LSD) was used. The statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software results (P = 0.05).
Results: The levels of LDL in the group exercise apple pectin reduced 12.9 and 110.64 to 98.45 is reached, the resistance training group also decreased from 108.89 to 118.56, 9.67 is reached, but in the control group increased from 101.88 to 99.75+ pectin apple reached 1.25. The results show that apple pectin group exercise and resistance training on changes in LDL levels showed significant differences with control+apple pectin.
