Abstract :
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of concurrent training and buttermilk consumption on lipid profile and blood pressure in girls.
Materials and Methods: In this semi-experimental study, 40 overweight non-athletic students aged 18 to 25 years were selected as the research sample. Subjects were randomly divided into 4 groups: concurrent training, buttermilk consumption, concurrent training + buttermilk and control. The subjects did resistance + aerobic exercise three times a week for 8 weeks. Buttermilk groups consumed 300 ml buttermilk for 8 weeks and 3 meals a day.
Results: The results showed that concurrent training and buttermilk consumption has a significant effect on reducing waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, low-density protein, triglycerides and a significant increase in high-density protein in overweight girls, p≤0.05.
Conclusion: Concurrent training can improve lipid profile indicators. Buttermilk can be a suitable facilitator to increase the effectiveness of these training
