Protocol summary

Summary
Aim: This study will conduct to determine the effect of 10-week progressive resistance training and ginger supplementation on physical fitness, body composition, lipid profiles, oxidative stress and inflammatory markers in obese men. Methods: Thirty-two obese male (aged 18–32 years, BMI≥ 30 Kg/m2) in a randomized double-blind design, will allocate equally into four homogeneous groups: PL (without training plus Dextrose intake); RTPL (training plus Dextrose); GI (without training plus Ginger intake), and RTGI (training plus ginger intake). The subjects will intake 1 g/d ginger (GI and RTGI) or Dextrose (PL and RTPL) during resistance training protocol (3 sessions/week; 8 exercises/session) for 10 weeks. In both groups, physical fitness (maximal isometric strength, explosive power, and Flexibility of lower limb), body composition (BMI, Fat%, FFM, WHR, WC), blood lipid profile, oxidative stress (malondialdehyde and antioxidant capacity: MDA & TAC), and inflammatory indicators (Peripheral blood leukocyte count; C-reactive protein: CRP; Interleukin-6: IL6; Interleukin-10: IL-10; Adiponectin; and homocysteine: tHcy) along with blood Testosterone and Cortisol concentration will determine 48 hours before and after supplementation and training protocol.
