Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic training and cinnamon consumption on some cardiovascular risk factors in active women. This study was conducted in autumn 2013 at Al Zahra University Sports University. 28 female students of physical education (ages 02/2 ± 36/22 years, weight 17/7 ± 80/59 kg, height 60/6 ± 40/162 cm) are recruited and randomized into 5 groups: 1) exercise 2) aerobic exercise combined with cinnamon 3) aerobic training with placebo 4) cinnamon 5) were assigned. Intensity aerobic exercise was for 6 weeks with 80-65% of maximum heart rate. Blood samples were collected at the beginning and end of the study. Data were analyzed using SPSS20 software and Kruskal Wallis test, Wilcoxon test was used at significant level (p <0.05). lipid profile in the aerobic exercise group showed no significant difference with cinnamon consumption (P<0.05). Based on the results of this study, exercise activity with intensity of 65-80% of maximal oxygen consumption over 6 weeks with cinnamon supplementation can improve lipid, glucose and BMI.
