Abstract
Background: This study aimed to investigate the effect of endurance and combination training on serum levels of Fetuin-A and metabolic syndrome of overweight and obese women.
Materials and Methods: This was a semi-experimental study and 45 overweight and obese women were randomly divided into three groups: “control”, “aerobic exercise” and “combined exercise” groups. The aerobic exercise and combined exercise groups were active for eight weeks. After blood sampling, Fetuin-A, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride, total cholesterol and glucose were measured.
Results: The results showed that after eight weeks in the aerobic and combined groups, Fetuin-A significantly increased (P=0.022, P=0.011). Also, LDL was significantly decreased in aerobic and combined groups (P=0.006, P=0.024). The results showed that the combined group had a significant decrease in TC, TG, FAT, BMI, and WHR compared to baseline and a significant increase in HDL (P<0.05). Also, Fetuin-A decreased in aerobic and combined groups compared to the control group. The combined group showed a significant decrease in TC compared to the control and aerobic groups (P<0.05). Besides, the combined group had lower TG, FAT, BMI, and WHR indices compared to the control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that combined exercises compared aerobic training had significant decreasing effects on Fetuin-A, as well as metabolic syndrome indices in obese and overweight individuals and contributes to the improvement of the dangers of obesity and cardiovascular risk factors.

Abstract
Background: CTRP-3 is a relatively new anti-inflammatory adipokines that is involved in the metabolism of the body, liver and adipose tissue. However, effects of spinning exercise and stationary bike on serum level of CTRP3 and body fat percentage have not been understood.
Materials and Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, forty-five obese and overweight women with body mass indexes above 25 kg/m2 were divided into three groups of 15 people: control, spinning exercise and stationary bike. Subjects performed the exercises for 6 weeks and three sessions each week. The Spinning exercise group Includes pedaling a bicycle with music and stationary bike group performed the exercise individually by pedaling on a stationary bike. Blood sampling and measurement of body composition indices were analyzed 24 hours before and 48 hours after last training session. In addition, intra group changes was performed using dependent t-test, for between group changes covariance analysis was used after determining pre assumption tests, then to locate the differences LSD follow-up test at a significant level (P<0.05) was performed.
Results: Serum CTRP-3 levels increased significantly about 28% in spinning group (P=0.012) and about 20% in stationary bike group (P=0.021) while body fat percentage decreased 6% in spinning group (P=0.001) and 4% in stationary bike group (P=0.001) after 6 weeks. There were significant differences between two studied groups in serum levels of CTRP-3 (P=0.015) and body fat percentage (P=0.001). Changes were not significant in control group.
Conclusion: It seems that spinning and stationary bike training effective strategies in preventing metabolic diseases through increasing CTRP-3, the anti-inflammatory marker, can be involved in body's metabolism, liver and adipose tissue.
