Abstract: The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of the type of exercise on lipid profile and adiponectin level in sedentary young men by 24-hour follow up exercise.Thirty young males with normal body mass index (BMI) were selected randomly and assigned to three groups: aerobic (30 min activity with 60 to 70% maximum oxygen uptake), resistance (3 sets of 10 repetitions at 70% of one maximum repetition), and concurrent (aerobic exercise for 20 min and resistance exercise for 2 sets) exercise.Lipid and adiponectin profiles were measured before and 24-hour after exercise.Results indicated that the type of exercise had an effect on the lipid response but did not have an effect on the concentration of adiponectin.The concentrations of cholesterol and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in resistance group reduced significantly 24hour after exercise in comparison to the basic values (p<0,05).Moreover, the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) concentration also reduced but it was not significant.The type of exercise had no effect on triglyceride (TG) response.However, when group's data combined, there was a significant reduction in TG concentration.Based on the results, it is concluded that the adiponectin responses to exercise are independent of the type of exercise but resistance exercise has more positive effects on changes in lipid profile than aerobic and concurrent exercises.Adiponectin, lipid profile, sedentary men, type of exercise,
