Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the interactive effect of a period of high-intensity interval training and cinnamon supplementation on the levels of some inflammation and anti-inflammatory markers in overweight and obese men.
Methodology: 40 obese and overweight adult men with body mass index greater than 26 kg / m2 were randomly divided into 4 groups: 1) Cinnamon supplement, 2) HIIT training, 3) HIIT supplement + HIIT training, and 4) placebo Were classified. Subjects were then subjected to various cinnamon supplement interventions and HIIT exercises for 8 weeks. Anthropometric, inflammatory and anti-inflammatory indices were measured in two stages: pre-test and post-test.
Results: The results of data analysis showed that serum levels of IL-6 and TNFα and insulin resistance index in the complementary groups, HIIT training and supplement + HIIT training in the post-test were significantly reduced compared to the pre-test (P ≤ 0.05). While serum adiponectin levels in supplement groups, HIIT training and supplement + HIIT training had a significant increase in post-test (P ≤ 0.05). However, there was no significant difference between the groups in any of the variables (P ≥ 0.05).
Conclusion: According to the results, it can be said that performing HIIT training with and without cinnamon supplementation will probably improve insulin resistance in overweight men by reducing the levels of inflammatory markers and increasing anti-inflammatory markers.
