Abstract: Background: Irisin, a recently identified myokine that seems had important role in hemostasis regulatation and improving insulin resistance. The effect of exercise training on serum irisin levels in type 2 diabates (T2D) is controversial. This study aims to investigate the effect of 6 weeks selective aerobic training on serum irisn levels and insulin resistance in women with T2D. Materials and Methods: This research is a semi experimental study with pre-and post-test design. Research subjects were 20 women with T2D (mean age 47.4±5.6 years and BMI 29.92±3.42). Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups: exercise group (n=12) and control group (n=8). Training protocol performed in 6 weeks (4 times a weeks, 40-65 min per session) and main training intencity and time were increased per week (50%-80% Hrmax). Main aerobic training was performed in 6 blocks, each block consisted of 32. Blood sample was collected before the and after end of training protocol. Results: The results showed significant decrease in blood glucose, insulin and insulin resistance index and significant increase in serum irisin levels in exercise group compared with the control group (p≤0.05), but there is no significant correlation between serum irisin levels and insulin resistance. Conclusion: It seems that aerobic training can have considerable impact on serum irisin levels, fasting blood glucos and insulin resistance index in women with T2D.
