Background: The goal of the current research
was investigation of effect of aerobic exercise on glucose, insulin and insulin
resistance in overweight-obese subclinical hypothyroidism women.
Methods: This study was semi-experimental.
After medical screening 23 women suffering from subclinical hypothyroidism
disorder with age average of 41.08 ±6.56 years and BMI over 25 kg/m2 ,
were objectively selected and randomly divided into two groups: control (N=13)
and experimental (N=10). Initially their height, weight, BMI,, Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) and the serum levels of
fasting glucose, insulin T4 and TSH were measured. Insulin
resistance was calculated via HOMA-IR model. Then samples of experimental group
performed aerobic exercise. The control
group received no intervention and were just followed. After 12 weeks all
variables were measured again. For intra group comparison of data
depended t-test was used and for group comparison independent t-test was used
(p value ≤0.05).
Results: After 12 weeks of symphonic aerobic exercise in
experimental group body composition including weight, BMI, WHR, and also
insulin levels, insulin resistance and TSH had
significant reduction no significant change in fasting glucose was seen and T4
levels had increased. In control group insulin and insulin resistance were significantly increased, too.
Conclusion: The reduction of
cardiovascular disease and reduction of insulin resistance among over
weight-obese sub clinical hypothyroidism women is probably possible through weight decreasing with aerobic
exercises.
