Gestational diabetes can cause various complications for the mother and fetus. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 12 weeks of combined training on the levels of some adipokines in women with gestational diabetes.



Method:

For this purpose, among pregnant women aged 25 to 35 years with gestational diabetes and gestational age of 23 to 24 weeks, 28 people were voluntarily selected to conduct the research and randomly divided into two groups, the experimental group (14 people). and control (14 people). The combined exercise training program was as follows in 12 weeks, three training sessions each week. Measurements and blood tests were performed 24 hours before the start of training and 24 hours after the last training session. In order to analyze the data, ANOVA test with repeated measures (repeated measure ANOVA) was used. The significance level was considered as p≤0.05 and the data was analyzed using SPSS version 23 software.



Results: 12 weeks of combined exercise training caused a significant increase in the hormone adiponectin (P=0.001) and a significant decrease in the hormone visfatin (P=0.001) in the experimental group.



Conclusion: The results of the above research showed that women with gestational diabetes can benefit from many Advantages, including the improvement of adiponectin and visfatin secreted from fat tissue, with correct and principled exercise training.
