They were randomly divided into practice groups including upper-body, lower-body, and compound for 3 sessions during 8 weeks (%60 to %80 of a maximum repetition) (control n=10). In order to assess lipid profile and hormone concentration, body composition and blood samples of subjects were measured in similar conditions in three stages: pre-test, end of the 4th week, and end of the 8th week. </span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><strong>Results. </strong>fat percentage (P<0.002) had a significant reduction and TG (P<0.002), HDL (P<0.001), and testosterone (P<0.002) had significant increases compared to the pretest in upper-body group. In lower-body group, however, a significant reduction in fat percentage (P<0.006) was observed, and HDL (P<0.001), VLDL (P<0.002), and testosterone (P<0.000) values had significant increases compared to the pretest. there was a significantly increase after 8 weeks in BMI (P=0.006), TG (P<0.030), and muscle mass (P<0.007), and a significant reduction in cortisol (P<0.016) compared to the pretest after a four-week exercise in compound group. </span></span></p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><strong>Conclusion. </strong>It seems that upper-body and lower-body resistance training optimal methods make desirable changes in some cardiovascular risk factors, for example reduction in fat percentage and increase in HDL, the facts which could leads about prevention of cardiovascular diseases in untrained individuals.</span></span></p> Resistance Training, Movement Pattern, Lipid Profile, Hormonal Responses 51 58 http://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-11-519-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Masoud Zamani masoud.zamani.pir@gmail.com 10031947532846004055 10031947532846004055 No Department of Exercise Physiology, Faculty of Sport Science, Tehtan Central Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran Maghsoud Peeri mpeeri@iauctb.ac.ir 10031947532846004056 10031947532846004056 Yes Department of Exercise Physiology, Faculty of Sport Science, Tehtan Central Branch, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran
