Blood samples were measured completely similarly in three steps of pre-test, fourth week, and one day after the eighth week exercise analyzed. </span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:times new roman"><span style="font-size:12px"><strong>Results.</strong> It is showed that in upper body group after the 8th week, adipose percentage reduced 7.39% (P<0.002) and leptin was decreased up to 64.02% (P<0.001), adiponectin significantly increased 90.42% (P<0.001) than pre-test step. In addition, in lower body group, adipose percentage reduced 7.39% (P<0.006) and leptin decreased 56.95% (P<0.001), adiponectin significantly increased 87.82% (P<0.012), than pre-test step. In combined group, body mass index (BMI) increased 1.88% (P<0.006), muscular mass increased 2.24% (P<0.007), and adiponectin significantly increased 91.56% (P<0.001), leptin (P<0.001) (59.3%) after eight weeks training significantly decreased than pre-test step. </span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:times new roman"><span style="font-size:12px"><strong>Conclusion. </strong>Various resistance exercises, increase adiponectin and leptin that are associated with change body composition.
