Background and Objective: Resisted Training and Natural Extract (green tea) for women with insulin resistance syndrome improved the level of TNF (α), lipid profile, exercise capacity, prevent cardiovascular complication and decrease morbidity. The effects of three months resisted training and natural extract on TNF (α) and lipid profile in women with insulin resistance syndrome were investigated in this study. Material and methods: Sixty insulin resistance syndrome untrained obese women with age of 40-50 years were included in the present study. Their body mass index (BMI) was ranged from (30 to 39.9 kg/ m²). They were randomly divided into three equal groups. Group (A) who participated in a program of resisted training (40-50 min, resisted exercises, 3 times/week) and drank 5 cups of the water extract of the dried green tea leaves daily, group (B) who participated in the same program of resisted exercise only as group (A), and group (C) who drank the same green tea extract in the same manner as group (A) but without application of any resisted exercise at all. The study was conducted from Feb 2017 till May 2018, at Physical Therapy Department of Elmonira hospital, the biochemical changes in lipid profile (TC, LDL, and HDL)) and Tnf (α) were measured at the beginning of the study and after twelve weeks for all groups. Results: revealed a significant decrease in the Tnf (α), total blood cholesterol and LDL-C, and a significant increase in the HDL-C, The higher percentage of improvement in the Tnf (α), LDL-C, TC and HDL-C were found in group (A) when compared with group(B) and group (C). Conclusion: we concluded that a program of resisted training combined with green tea Natural extract produce a significant improvement for women with insulin resistance syndrome rather than when any of both applied separately.
