Abstract :The purpose of the study was to explore the combination of ICR with High Intensity Interval Training insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HIIT); or continuous training over a 8-weeks on inflammatory and lipid profile indexes in overweight women. In the current quasi-experimental study, 36 overweight and obese women were randomly grouped in four groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n = 9/group); for an additional 8 weeks as follows: 1); intermittent caloric restriction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(N=9); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(20% lower energy intake);, 2); continuous training+ICR insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(N=11); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(20% energy deficit created by 10% CR and 10% EE through CT);, 3); High-Intensity Interval Training+ICR insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(N=9); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(20% energy deficit created by 10% CR and 10% EE through HIIT); and 4); control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(N=9); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(remain on diet);. Blood samples were collected to measure the inflammatory indexes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(the number of environmental blood leukocytes and C-reactive protein); as well as lipid profile insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL and LDL);. Data were analyzed using Shapiro–Wilk tests to investigate the natural distribution of the data; repetitive variance was also used to investigate the mean difference between phases and the interactive effect between phases and groups; Bonferroni post-hoc test was also used for comparing intergroup changes in the significance level of α < 0.05. Eight weeks of HIIT and continuous training with ICR led to significant changes in all indexes including lipid profile insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, triglyceride);, VO2max, CRP compared to the pre-test phase. Moreover, there was a significant intergroup difference in the indexes of lipid profile and CRP among control group and ICR, HIIT+ICR and ICR+ continuous groups, lastly, there was also an intergroup cholesterol index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(ICR); and HIIT+ICR and ICR+continuous groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Regarding VO2max, there was a significant intergroup difference between the control group and HIIT+ICR and ICR+ continuous groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.05);. Due to the marked and noticeable effects of eight weeks of HIIT and continuous training along with ICR on inflammatory and lipid profile indexes in overweight women, it can be concluded that the combination of these interventions can be effective in controlling the weight and obesity.
