Objective: The present study examined Anthropometry, C-reactive protein (CRP) and physical function in obese women after combined exercise program.

Materials and Method: Obese women (n= 40; from 20-30 years; BMI; 35.0-39.9 kg/m2) were recruited for a 3 month trial. Participants were divided into group I (n=12; age from 20 to less than 25) and group II (n=28; age from 25 to 30). Participants in both groups had been received a combined aerobic and anaerobic exercise program 3 days/week. Anthropometry, CRP and physical function (4 meter walking velocity, chair rising test time, 6 min walking distance, hand grip strength) were assessed at baseline and 3 month.

Result: In both groups, the results revealed significant increase in all measurements (p0.05).

Conclusion: Results provide evidence that combination of aerobic and anaerobic exercises experienced by obese adults can reduce CRP level and improve physical function. This can be translated into enhanced quality of life.
