Effects of aerobic and resistance exercises on inflammatory markers (IL-1, IL-17 and CRP) in women with breast cancer

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on inflammatory markers (IL-1, IL-17, and CRP) in women with breast cancer, with an age range of 35 to 55 years. For the study, the women with breast cancer, 36 subjects were selected by simple random sampling in three groups of 12 subjects (group of aerobic, resistance and control) groups. The subjects for eight weeks aerobic exercise walking on treadmill with Intensity of 50-70% of maximum heart rate and strength group circuit training program With 45 to 65% of one repetition maximum. The blood samples were collected before and after Eight weeks aerobic training and resistance to measure inflammatory markers. Examinations were done on serum by Eliza method. To study the effects of aerobic and resistance exercise on variables co-variance analytical test was used at p < 0.05. The results showed that Eight weeks of aerobic exercise has no significant effect on IL-1 and IL-17, although it has significantly effect on CRP level. Eight weeks of resistance exercise has no significantly effect on IL-1 and CRP but it has significantly effect on IL-17 level (P < 0.05). The results of this research show that probably aerobic exercises decrease the CRP level and resistance training decrease IL-17 level and exercise with this intensity and duration is not sufficient may reduce IL-1 level in these women.
