Abstract

Background:  The aim of this study was to investigate the response of inflammatory markers as a cardiovascular risk factor to circuit weight training in diabetic patients. Subjects and Methods: forty male diabetic patients were included as the sample of this study. They were randomly divided into thirty patients as the study group, and ten patients as the control group, Their ages ranged from (45-55 years) with the mean age of (50.17±3.5), the mean weight of (72.07±8.32 kg) and the mean height of (170.53±7.9 cm); and ten patients as the control group had the age range of (45-55 years) with the mean age of (49±3.2 years), their mean weight was (75.27± 5.87 kg), and their mean height was (170±5.72 cm). Results:  The results of this study showed that interleukin 6 and tumor necrosis factor alpha levels were significantly decreased comparing pre and post treatments in each group.  Conclusion: Circuit weight training had a significant effect on the inflammatory markers in diabetic patients.
