Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effect of six weeks high intensity interval training (HIIT) with turmeric supplementation on visceral fat, subcutaneous abdominal fat and insulin resistance in obese females. Thirty obese women aged 20-25 years in quasi-experimental study with pre-post testing design, were selected purposefully and were randomly divided into two homogeneous groups of 15 participants: HIIT & placebo, and HIIT & Turmeric supplement (3 milligram curcumin per kilogram body weight per day). Preparation period performed for 3 weeks and HIIT performed for 6 weeks and 4 sessions per week. Blood samples were taken in two phases, before and 48 hours after last exercise session in the follicular phase. Abdominal fat was measured by ultrasound system. Serum insulin and glucose were measured by enzyme immunoassay and photometric method respectively. The data were analyzed at α
