AB -   Background: The prevalence of obesity and its complications is rapidly increasing worldwide. Hence, the objective of this study was to determine the effects of 10 week progressive resistance training on serum levels of adiponectin and lipid profiles in obese men.   Methods: In semi-experimental study, Sixteen obese men (Body Mass Index≥ 30, 18-32 years)) were selected between voluntary subjects and located randomize in to two resistance training (n=8) and control (n=8) groups. The experimental subjects received resistance training program. Progressive resistance training was performed three times a week on alternate days for 10 weeks and included 8 exercises. At baseline and after 10 weeks, Blood samples were taken in 12-14 hours fasting state from all subjects and investigated blood lipid profiles and adiponectin pre-post protocol.
