The aim of this study was to determine the effect of 8 weeks of Pilates exercise on serum Visfatin levels, (the homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance) HOMA-IR index, (the homeostatic model assessment-beta-cell) HOMA-β Cell Index in overweight and obese women. For this reason, 20 overweight and obese healthy and non-athletic women without any illness will voluntarily participate in the research and will be divided into two groups: experimental and control groups. The experimental group will take place in a Pilates training program for eight weeks with an intensity of 40 to 60 percent of maximum heart rate, three times a week and each session will take an hour. The control group will not perform any exercises. In order to measure serum Visfatin and Insulin level and HOMA-IR & HOMA-β indices, fasting blood samples of two groups will be collected 24 hours before the start of exercise and 24 hours after the last exercise session. Also, before and after performing Pilates training, body mass index, body weight and waist to hip ratio will be measured in two groups. Finally, we will compare the mentioned variables between and within groups in order to clarify the effect of Pilates training on above variables.
