Introduction: One of the most important health issues in the world is obesity, and the most effective factor in its prevention and treatment is physical activity. Physical activity has been shown to reduce obesity risk factors. In addition to exercise, pharmaceutical and nutritional interventions can be effective in obesity treatment. However, our aim was investigating of the effect of consuming three types of tea along with combined exercise training on weight loss and health-related markers in overweight and obese men.
Methods: 60 overweight or obese men aged 30 to 50 (BMI 35-25) were randomly assigned to four groups of training + green tea (GT+T), training + white tea (WT+T), training + roselle tea (ST+T) and training (T) for 8 weeks. Blood samples were measured 48 hours before and 48 hours after the last training session. leptin and adiponectin were measured using ELISA method. Also, body composition indices measured. Statistical analysis was performed using ANCOVA method at a significance level of 0.05.
Results: Results showed significant reductions in body composition indices (weight, BMI, FM) in intervention groups WT+T and GT+T compared to the control group, while FFM showing no significant changes. Weight, BMI, and FM variables in the WT+T group had a more significant reduction compared to ST+T, and weight and BMI variables in the WT+T group had a more significant reduction compared to the GT+T group. Additionally, Leptin and Adiponectin in the intervention group WT+T showed significant changes compared to the control group. Furthermore, Leptin and Adiponectin in the WT+T group had more significant changes compared to the ST+T group, and Leptin and Adiponectin variables in the WT+T group had a more significant reduction compared to the GT+T group.
Conclusion: In conclusion the consumption of white tea and green tea combined with combined exercise had a significant effect on body composition indices and adipokines, but no significant change was observed in the case of sour tea combined with combined exercise. The difference in the averages showed that the effect of white tea on the measured indicators is more than other interventions.
