[Changes in C-reactive protein, interleukin-6 and lipid biomarkers in sedentary middle-aged men after resistance exercise]

ABSTRACT

Background: The risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular disease in the elderly, obese and sedentary population is high. Exercise can improve metabolic disorders associated with these diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eight weeks resistance exercises on C-reactive protein [CRP], Interleukin-6 [IL-6] and lipid biomarkers in sedentary middle-aged men.
