Abstract
Introduction and Aims: The difference in exercise are of the most important factors that affect cardiovascular risk factors. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of concurrent endurance and Pilates training on body composition, CRP, fibrinogen, and blood cell count in normal weight and the obese female.

Material and Methods: This study was a semi-experimental research. 30 obese and normal weight students (BMI; 28.7, 1.2 kg/m2 were purposefully selected and divided into two groups. The exercise program was performed for 6 weeks and 90 minutes in every session with both exercise groups. The blood sampling was accompanied with 12 fasting before and after the training. Anthropometric measures, inflammatory, and hematological markers were measured before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using the independent and paired t-test at α ≤ 0.05 significance level.

Results: Results showed that significantly decreased C-reactive protein (order in obesity group and normal weight P = 0.04, P = 0.02), fibrinogen (P = 0.03, P = 0.01) and body composition. Our data also showed a significant increase in Red Blood Cells and White Blood Cells. In addition, a significant difference was observed in body composition between two groups (P<0.05), But it wasn't significant differences in other variables.

Conclusion: The concurrent endurance and Pilates exercises can affect the CRP, fibrinogen and blood cell count. Therefore, they can be considered as a suitable and non-medication approach to prevent the incidence of obesity-related disorders in obese female adolescents.
