Study aim
-
Investigating the effects of combined resistance and aerobic exercises with the consumption of different doses of Tirzepatide on some anthropometric factors, physical fitness, cardiovascular risk factors and insulin resistance in obese pre-diabetic soldiers will be the research objectives.
-
Design
-
The sample size will be obtained by G-power software. Participants will be studied for 6 weeks. The training groups will train 3 times a week and tirspatid injection will be done once a week in the subcutaneous area of the abdomen by a physician.
-
Settings and conduct
-
The study will be done in Amol city and in Kolak sports club. Physical fitness factors will include cardio-respiratory fitness and muscle strength. Lipid profile including triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) will be measured. Insulin resistance will be determined using the Homeostasis Model of Insulin Resistance Assessment (HOMA-IR).

The exclusion criteria for the study are: lack of regular attendance in training, inflammatory and severe diseases, possible injuries, personal problems.
-
Intervention groups
-
The participants were randomly divided into six groups of 13 people: 1. Placebo (distilled water), 2. Tirzepatide (2.5 mg), 3. Tirzepatide (5 mg), 4. Combined training + placebo, 5. Combined training + Tirzepatide ( 2.5 mg) and 6. combined training + Tirzepatide (5 mg) will be divided.
