Abstract
C1q/TNF5 is a protein belonging to the C1q/TNF group, playing a role in glucose metabolism. The aim of this research was to investigate the effect of eight weeks of high-intensity interval training on C1q/TNF5 levels in obese men. In a semi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design, 24 obese men (BMI: 32.3 ± 1.1 kg/m², age: 34.7 ± 2.6 years) were purposefully selected. Participants were randomly divided into equal control and experimental groups. The experimental group underwent eight weeks of high-intensity interval training (three sessions per week). Blood samples were collected from both groups before and after the eight-week exercise intervention under fasting conditions. The data were analyzed using independent and paired t-tests (p < 0.05). After eight weeks of high-intensity interval training, a significant reduction was observed in serum levels of C1q/TNF5 (p = 0.001). Additionally, insulin resistance index significantly decreased (p = 0.004). Overall, it appears that eight weeks of high-intensity interval training can lead to improvements in insulin resistance and glucose metabolism in obese men.
