Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of high-intensity circuit training with colostrum supplementation on the body composition and health factors of overweight men.
Methods and Materials: 40 healthy overweight men were randomly divided into four groups of exercise and colostrum supplement, exercise and placebo, colostrum supplement and control. The training protocol consisted of three sessions per week for eight weeks. Subjects in the supplement and exercise-supplement group took 20 grams of powdered colostrum mixed with 200 ml of water every other day; then, they consumed them. The variables of fat percentage, blood fat, BMI index and waist to hip ratio were measured in all the subjects before and after supplementation and exercise.
Results: The results showed that the percentage of body fat in the supplemental training group was significantly reduced compared to the colostrum supplement and exercise-placebo and control groups. Furthermore, blood fat, BMI and waist-to-hip ratio index showed a significant decrease in the exercisesupplement group compared to the other three groups.
Discussion and Conclusion: In general, the interaction of high-intensity circuit training and colostrum supplementation causes a significant reduction in body fat percentage, blood fat, BMI, and waist-to-hip ratio. However, the need for more studies seems necessary considering the limitations of the research.
