Abstract
Background: Chlorogenic acid, a major polyphenol in green coffee, and physical activity are considered as two possible effective factors on anxiety and depression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a six-week combined aerobic-resistance training along with green coffee consumption on anxiety and depression in overweight and obese women.
Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 30 volunteer overweight and obese women were randomly divided into three groups of combined aerobic-resistance training, green coffee and combined training with green coffee. Training was performed four sessions per week for six weeks. The amount of green coffee consumption was 250 mg per day for six weeks. The anxiety and depression levels of the participants were assessed using the Beck questionnaire.
Results: Results showed a significant improvement in anxiety and depression levels in the three study groups (P<0.05). Also, the results showed that changes in anxiety and depression levels in the group of combined training with green coffee consumption was significantly higher than the green coffee group (P=0.03 and P=0.01, respectively).
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, green coffee consumption and combined training could be effective in improving anxiety and depression. Also, combined aerobic-resistance training along with green coffee consumption is more effective on improving anxiety and depression.

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to determine the effect of 8 weeks of resistance training using elastic bands and green coffee supplement on hepatic steatosis index in obese middle-aged Women.
Materials and Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 60 obese (33.58±2.96) and middle-aged women (42.99±3.08) were selected as the subjects and were randomly divided into four groups of 15 people: supplement, exercise+supplement, exercise+placebo and placebo. The training groups received eight-week elastic band resistance training program at 3 sessions per week and 60 minutes each session. Daily supplementary groups received a 400 mg capsule of green coffee extract. Blood samples were measured 24 hours before the start and 48 hours after the end of the protocol in the fasting state. In order to compare intra-group and extra-group, the t-test and the two-way ANOVA and post-hoc Bonferroni test were used.
Results: The results showed that 8 weeks of exercise with supplementation, despite significantly reducing the serum levels of liver enzymes in the experimental groups, there had no significant difference with the control group. Also, 8 weeks of resistance training combined with green coffee supplementation made a significant difference in the index of hepatic steatosis in obese women.
Conclusion: However training with elastic bands and green coffee consumption improved hepatic steatosis index but considering that its effect on liver enzymes was not significant. it seems, improvement in liver function indices in obese women may require longer periods of resistance training and green coffee supplementation.
