CRP and resistin are two inflammatory markers of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of eight weeks aerobic training on concentrations of hsCRP and resistin in Menopause women. 30 volunteered Menopause women randomly assigned into experimental and control groups (each group 15 subjects). Subjects of experimental group accomplished eight weeks (3 sessions per week) aerobic exercise with intensity of 50 to 60 percent of their maximum heart rate. Before and after trainings, weight, body fat percent, hsCRP and resistin levels of subjects were determined. In compare with control group, significant reduction of weight, BMI, body fat percent and hsCRP (P<0.001) and significant elevation of resistin (P<0.05) in experimental group has been showed . Eight weeks regular aerobic training caused reduction of weight, body fat and hsCRP and elevation of resistin leads to reduction of risk of cardiovascular disease and improvement of health status in Menopause women.
