Adiponectin and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) as hormones are highly contributive in cardiovascular system, while they are disrupted through obesity. Weight-bearing high intensity interval training (HIIT) as an effective procedure in preventing obesity-related complications in adults with obesity may be limited due to the subjects' muscular weakness and complications interfering walking.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Aims:<\/jats:title>\n The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of non-weight bearing all extremity HIIT (all ex. HIIT) on FGF21, adiponectin, nitric oxide (NO), and flow mediated dilation (FMD) in overweight and obese women.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n Thirty healthy overweight and obese sedentary university female students within 20.53 \u00b1 1.50 age range and BMI \u226527 kg.m\n -2<\/jats:sup>\n were assigned in two experimental and control groups. All ex. HIIT consisted of 4 \u00d7 4 min at 85\u201390% max HR with an interspersed with 3 \u00d7 3 min recovery per round at 70% max HR by upper and lower ergometers in a simultaneous manner on 10 weeks of four sessions of 40 min each. FGF21, adiponectin, NO, FMD, weight, waist and maximal oxygen uptake (VO\n 2max<\/jats:sub>\n ) were measured in pre and post-tests. Paired sample\n t<\/jats:italic>\n -test and analysis of covariance are applied for statistical analysis.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Results indicated a significant increase in adiponectin (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2264 0.01) and FMD (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2264 0.001), while there existed no changes in FGF21 at (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2265 0.10) and NO (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2265 0.84). The weight and waist decreased at (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2264 0.001), and the VO\n 2max<\/jats:sub>\n increased at (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2264 0.001).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n All ex. HIIT may be a safe alternative for overweigh and obese women who have complications with weight-bearing exercises, and may increase adiponectin, and improve the FMD, aerobic fitness, and body composition.<\/jats:p>\n
