Aim: Derived hormones from adipokines are include leptin, adiponectin, apelin and omentin. One of the roles of omentin is reducing insulin resistance.The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of aerobic training and resistance training on serum omentin, insulin resistance and lipid profilein women. Method: Twenty four non-active healthy obese postmenopausal women volunteered to participate in this research. They were randomly assigned into two groups: aerobic training group (AT, n=12) resistance training group (RT, n=12). AT group carried out exercises at 55-75 percent of maximal heart rate reserve and RT group carried out training at 60-80 percent of 1RM. Dependent variables were measured in the two phases of the study, including pre-test and post-test. Blood samples were taken 24 hours before starting the first training session and also 48 hours after the last training session. Results: Results of paired samples t-test did not show any significant difference between changes in serum omentin and insulin resistance after aerobic training and resistance training. However, independent samples t-test show significant changes in all of them. Conclusion: The results of intergroup variations showed that there is a significant difference between the effect of eight weeks of resistance and endurance training on the amount of omentin, insulin resistance and lipid profiles. Keywords: Aerobic training, resistance training, omentin, insulin resistance.
