Abstract
Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver is the most common liver disease in the world. Due to protective effects and improvement of portulaca oleracea on liver function, this study aimed to determine the effect of combined training and Portulaca oleracea supplement on body composition indices and physical fitness factors in obese females with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 40 obese females with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease were randomly divided into four groups of combined training with portulaca oleracea (n=10), placebo (n=10), portulaca oleracea (n=10) and training (n=10). Training was performed three sessions per week for twelve weeks. The amount of portulaca oleracea consumption was 500 mg per day for twelve weeks. Body composition, physical fittness and liver enzymes variables were assessed at baseline and after the end of interventions. Paired t-test and two-way anova were used.
Results: the results of the present study showed that muscular strength (P=0.00) and vo2 max (P=0.00), body max index (P=0.00), WHR (P=0.00), BF% (P=0.00), ALT (P=0.00), AST (P=0.00) were significant differences between the four groups (P<0.05)
Conclusion: It seems that combined training and taking portulaca oleracea supplementation can improve body composition, physical fitness and liver enzymes in obese females with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Abstract
Background: Irisin is expressed from Fndc5 protein in muscle cells and affects obesity and energy metabolism by converting white fat to brown. This study aimed to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of combined exercises on irisin levels and relationship between serum glucose in overweight men.
Materials and Methods: This semi experimental study was performed using a pre-test and post-test design, twenty two overweight young men (body mass index=28.67± 0.96 and age = 31.50±2.23) were selected and divided randomly into the two experimental groups: combined exercises (n=11) and control (n = 11). Combined exercise protocol (aerobic with of 65-85% of maximum heart rate and resistance with 50% of 1RM) was for 8 weeks and 3 sessions per week blood samples were taken from the subjects 24 and 48 hours before and after the research project to measure the serum level of irisin and glucose. Data were analyzed by t-test and Pearson correlations test.
Result: The results of the study showed that irisin levels decreased following 8 weeks of training intervention but this decrease was not significant (P=0.14), and serum glucose did not decrease significantly after 8 weeks of training (P>0.05). Pearson correlation coefficient did not show a significant relationship between irisin and serum glucose levels (P>0.05).
Conclusion: Combined exercise is one of the exercise methods to lose weight and achieve fitness in overweight people, which by converting white adipose to brown adipose to increase energy metabolism which helps overweight people.

Abstract
Background: Parkinson's disease is a progressive and destructive disorder of the central nervous system. This study aimed to determine the effect exercise training and olive oil consumption on genes expression of the AKT¸ caspase3 and the spatial learning of rats with parkinson's disease
Materials and Methods: in this study, 30 rats were divided into 5 groups of 6: healthy control¸ parkinson´s control¸ parkinson´s+olive oil¸ parkinson´s+exercise training¸ parkinson´s+exercise training+olive oil. The rats were fed 0.4 ml of olive oil daily for 8 weeks. Aerobic training was performed 5 days a week for 30 minutes and at a speed of 11 meters per minute. Resistance exercise begin with %30 of the rat´s weight and it reached %100 of the rat´s weight in the eighth week. The gene expression of AKT and caspase3 was measured through PCR-real time and spatial learning using radial maze. Data analyzed using one-way of variance and Thomhan's follow up test.
Result: Increase in AKT genes expressin, reduced in caspase3 expression and spatial learning improvement significantly observed in exercise training and exercise training+olive oil compared to the parkinson's control group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: exercise training with and without olive oil consumpsion can be effective in improving spatial learning by increasing AKT and decreasing caspase3.
