The Claim
Reductions in abdominal fat mass are significantly correlated with decreases in MCP-1, leptin, adiponectin, and resistin levels during long-term combined aerobic and resistance training in healthy young men.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In healthy young men who perform long-term combined aerobic and resistance training, a decrease in abdominal fat is associated with corresponding decreases in the blood levels of MCP-1, leptin, adiponectin, and resistin.
See the scientific wording
Reductions in abdominal fat mass are significantly correlated with decreases in MCP-1, leptin, adiponectin, and resistin during long-term combined aerobic and resistance training in healthy young men.
When belly fat shrinks from combined cardio and strength training, the fat cells release less of the chemicals that cause inflammation and more of the chemical that reduces it. This change lowers the overall level of inflammation in the body.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Combined aerobic and resistance training decreases inflammation markers in healthy men
When healthy young men did a mix of cardio and strength training for 6 months and lost belly fat, their body’s fat-related and inflammation hormones also got better — and the more fat they lost, the more these hormones improved.
