Abstract

Introduction: Nowadays more people are overweight more than before. Overweight can be considered as having more body fat than desired. Overweight or obesity increases the relative risk of diabetes and coronary artery disease in women. Therefore, this research investigates the effect of eight weeks of electrical muscle stimulation on the interleukin-6 and interleukin-10 levels in overweight women. Research method: In this research, we selected 34 overweight women and then randomly divided into three groups: control (10 people), resistance training (12 people) and resistance training + EMS (12 people). Then, two experimental groups performed resistance exercises for 8 weeks and 2 sessions per week, each session 20 minutes. In order to check the research variables, we collected 5 cc of blood from the research samples 48 hours before and after the test. We used Shapiro-Wilk test and analysis of covariance with SPSS version 24 software for statistical analysis of the research. Results: The analysis of IL-6 serum levels of the participants before and after eight weeks of intervention through covariance analysis showed that the difference between groups (control groups, resistance training and resistance training + EMS) was not statistically significant (p = 0.307).
