Purpose. The purpose of the study was to evaluate changes in adipocytokine concentrations and the correlation between adipocytokines and body fat percentage after endurance training in obese girls. Methods. This was a semi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design, in which 19 overweight girls aged 8-12 years were randomly selected. Anthropometric and blood indices were assessed before and after the intervention. Results. The average leptin level (p = 0.016) and fat percentage (p = 0.002) were significantly reduced after 12 weeks of moderate-intensity endurance training, whereas the average adiponectin levels (p = 0.012) were significantly increased. There was a reverse correlation between adiponectin levels and BMI (p = 0.018), body fat percentage (p = 0.015), and leptin concentrations (p = 0.025). Conclusions. Considering the adipocytokine improvement and body fat percentage reduction observed in this study, one can state that moderate-intensity endurance training has a role in the prevention of obesity-related diseases such as metabolic and cardiovascular disease.
