The aim of present study was to clarify the effect of 15 weeks combination exercise training on lipid profile and fatty liver indices in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. Twenty nine postmenopausal women (58.27 ± 6.31 years) with breast cancer divided into two groups randomly; experimental group (n=14) and control group (n=15). Participants of experimental group performed 15 weeks combination exercise training including walking (2 sessions per week) and resistance training (2 sessions per week that different from walking days). For the description of data, mean and standard deviation were used and mean values of two groups in pre and post test were compared by independent and paired t-test for all measurements (p⩽0.05). Significant differences were observed for body weight (BW), BMI, WHR, HDL-C, LDL, VLDL, TC, TG, aspartate aminotransaminase (AST) and alanin aminotransferase (ALT) between experimental and control groups after 15 weeks (p< 0.05). In fact, combination exercise training had positive effects on BW, BMI, WHR, HDL-C, LDL, VLDL, TC, TG, AST and ALT. It can be concluded that 15 weeks combination exercise training in postmenopausal women with breast cancer can improve lipid profile and fatty liver indices resulting in reduction of recurrences of breast cancer and cardiac and hepatic disease.
