Online published on 16 October, 2018. Abstract Background/Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of combined exercise on inflammatory factors and nitric oxide in obese middle-aged women. For this purpose, obese middle-aged women were divided into two groups: experimental group(EG) and control group(CG). Methods/Statistical Analysis This study was conducted on 8 week obese middle-aged women divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group was performed for 60 minutes including the warming up and cooled down three times a week for 8 weeks. The training was performed for 5 minutes each, and the resistance exercise (wide squat, narrow squat, lunge, stiff deadrift, jump squat) around the lower body was performed for 25 minutes and treadmill walking was performed for 25 minutes, Respectively. The control group did not perform any treatment for 8 weeks. The PASW 18.0 Statistical Program was used for pre-scan and post-mortem data to determine 8-week therapeutic effects. Technical statistics were proposed for each measurement period and applied by a two-way 2-RGRM ANOVA to find interactions of treatment effects. The level of significance is set to 0.05. Findings hs-CRP indicated that the interaction effect between the two groups was significant and TNF-⍺ also showed significant interactions. VEGF noted that the interaction between the two groups was significant(p<05). Nitric Oxide showed that the interaction between the two groups was significant (p<.05). Improvements/Applications The results showed that in middle-aged obese women, resistance and treadmill walking are good for inflammation and nitrogen oxides. Therefore, the exercise period should be diversified and additional exercise items should be studied to help the health of overweight middle-aged women.
