The Effects of Spinning and Body Pump Exercises on C - Reactive Protein and Some Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Middle-aged Women

This research is a semi-empirical and applicable one, the goal of which is to determine the effects of spinning and body pump exercises on C - reactive protein and some cardiovascular risk factors in middle-aged women. The population is categorized under three groups; body pump with 12 samples, spinning with 12 samples and witness with 12 samples. The duration of exercises is 8 weeks and 3 sessions in every week. The samples have been checked up in pre-test and post-test. For data analysis and determining the degree of effectiveness a correlated T test has been done and for comparing the groups an ANOVA had been done with a p-value of ≤0/05. The results show that after 8 weeks of doing spinning and body pump exercises, the level of variables of C-reactive protein, Lipoprotein with low density (LDL), Triglycerides (TG), Total c holesterol (TC), and the Body Fat Percentage have has been decreased, while the level of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) has been increased. No effect has been detected in the level of blood pressure. Also data reveal that comparing to the control group, the spinning group has changes in the levels of variables of C-reactive protein, Lipoprotein with low density (LDL), Triglycerides (TG), Total c holesterol (TC) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), but no tangible difference in the level of Body Fat Percentage. The body pump group, in a comparison with the control group, has changes in the level of variables of C-reactive protein and Triglycerides (TG), but no variation in the level of variables of Lipoprotein with low density (LDL), Total c holesterol (TC) and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL). Comparing the spinning and body pump group with each other, there are differences in the variables of High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), while there are no tangible changes in the variables of C-reactive protein, low density Lipoprotein (LDL), Triglycerides (TG) and Total c holesterol (TC).
