Abstract
Introduction and Purpose: The rate of overweight and obesity of childhood is dramatically increasing. It seems that mechanical load would affects motor activities for instance walking pattern. This study undertaken to compare spatio-temporal parameters of walking among overweight and normal childrens 10 to 12 years.
Methodology: In this semi-experimental study, 30 subjects (15 overweight boys and 15 normal boys) are randomly selected participated. Footprints recorded during walking with ink and paper system. In order to make comparison of spatio- temporal parameters of walking of subjects Independent Samples t-Test is used. Results: Significant difference was seen in three parameters spending time, speed and cadence between the two groups; in addition, there is significant difference in foot progressive angle between dominant and non dominant limbs.
Discussion and conclusion: According to the findings of this study, which confirms findings of previous studies, in order to optimize walking pattern perhaps overweight changes the pattern of gait through improvement of motor control.

Abstract
Homocysteine and insulin resistance in postmenoupausal women rises due to decrease in estrogen, low mobility and weight gain which increase the cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of aerobic exercise training status on response of homocysteine and insulin resistance to aerobic exercise in active and nonactive obese postmenopausal women. Therefore, 21 obese postmenopausal women with the age of 48 - 65 yrs voluntary participated in the study and assigned in active (n=11) and nonactive (n=10) groups. Aerobic exercise was performed with 70-75 percent of maximum heart rate. Blood sample was obtained before and after exercise, and 10 hours following fasting. Results showed that baseline levels of homocysteine (p= 0.003) and insulin resistance (p=0.003) were significantly lower in active subjects compared with inactive ones. However, homocysteine level was significantly (p=0.028) lower in active than to nonactive subjects following aerobic exercise. It can be concluded that regular aerobic training improves insulin resistance and homocysteine levels in obese postmenopausal women, however, a session of moderate aerobic exercise could not influence on insulin resistance. Although, homocysteine response was higher in active group. It seems that changes manner of two variable to aerobic exercise is different

Abstract
Eotaxin, a pro-inflammatory Adipokine is secreted from adipose tissue, which its secretion increases in the obesity and cause neurodegeneration. BDNF is a neurological factor that interferes with cognitive function, fat and sugar metabolism, as well as the pathophysiology of obesity and metabolic syndrome in adulthood. The aim of this study was to investigate the Effect of Six Weeks of Interval Resistance Training on Eotaxin and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor Serum Levels in Overweight young men. Twenty non-active students without regular exercise program from Kharazmi University were randomly selected and divided into two groups of training (n=10) and control (n=10). The training group performed Interval resistance Training for 6 weeks, 3 sessions per week and each session lasted 45 minutes. The training program included 7 moves with intensity of 30-40% of 1RM and velocity 2v for 10 seconds and rest intervals with intensity 30-40% 1RM and velocity v for 20 seconds. Blood samples were taken before and after 6 weeks of training to evaluate the serum Eotaxin and BDNF levels using the Sandwich ELISA. To analyze the data, the covariance test and Bonferron's post hoc test were used to compare the variables. The results of covariance analysis and Bonferroni test showed that 6 weeks of Interval resistance training caused a significant reduction in the weight (p=0.003), body mass index (p=0.004) Waist circumference (p=0.012) and fat percentage (p=0.001). Also, significant increase was observed in muscular endurance (p=0.001), serum BDNF levels in the training group compared to the control group (p=0.024), and serum Eotaxin levels in the training group decreased significantly (p=0.022). Correlation results showed a significant reverse relationship respectively between pre and post training Eotaxin and BDNF (p=0.015 r=-0.511, p=0.013 r=-0.586). Weight loss through six weeks of Interval Resistance training, which accompanied the loss of adipose tissue; resulted in a reduction in serum levels of Eotaxin and increased serum levels of BDNF.

Abstract
Adiponectin plays an important role in many metabolic and heart diseases. Regulation of liver enzymes is also essential for the health of the body's organs. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of a HIIT training period on adiponectin levels and serum concentrations of liver enzymes in obese and overweight boys. 22 obese and overweight boys were selected and randomly divided into two groups of control and experimental. The experimental group performed eight weeks of HIIT pedaling with 80% HR reserve intensity for 3 days a week. The variables of adiponectin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) using kits and laboratory methods as well as aerobic power, body mass index, and fat percentage of tests in the two stages before and after Exercise protocol was also measured and covariance test was used to compare the research variables and Pearson correlation coefficient was used to examine the relationship. The results were analyzed at a significant level (P<0.05) using SPSS software version 24. Performing eight weeks of HIIT exercise using a bicycle resulted in a non-significant reduction in adiponectin (P>0.05), AST(P>0.05) and ALP(P >0.05) enzymes. This exercise also significantly reduced ALT enzyme (P<0.05) and fat percentage (P<0.05) and increased aerobic capacity (P<0.05)
HIIT exercise strengthens aerobic power and reduces the percentage of fat and reduces the liver enzyme ALT in obese boys. Of course, more research is needed to clarify this issue.
