Abstract
Introduction: Appetite has the main role in energy regulation and weight loss in obesity. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of Omega-3 supplements and HIIT exercises on appetite in obese women.
Methods: In a controlled, randomized clinical trial, 60 subjects (35-45 yrs.) with 27≤ BMI ≥40 ( kg/m2) were assigned to four groups (HIIT, Supplement +HIIT, Supplement, Control). Twelve-weeks HIIT sessions (each session of an interval training includes 60 s of high-intensity training (85–95% of reserve heart rate)) + running for 60 s at low intensity (55–60% of reserve heart rate) were applied. Subjects consumed 2 g omega3 daily. Appetite and anthropometrical characteristics were assessed prior and48 hours following training and at the end of the luteal phase. One-Way Anova and Tukey tests were used to analyze the data.
Results: The results suggested appetite decreased significantly in HIIT and supplement+HIIT groups (p=0.0001) while didn’t change in supplement and control groups (p=0/052).
Conclusion: It was concluded that Omega-3 supplement has no significant effect on appetite, whereas HIIT may decrease appetite in obese women.
