The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a ۶-week period of EMS training and combined physical training on the serum levels of FGF۲۱, GDF۱۵ and muscle strength in overweight people. The statistical population of the present study was made up of people with first degree obesity with BMI>۲۵ who are in the age range of ۲۰ to ۴۰ years. ۲۴ people were studied voluntarily, who were randomly divided into three groups: EMS training, combined physical training and control. It should be noted that these people did not have any underlying and acute diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, etc. FGF۲۱ and GDF۱۵ factors were investigated to measure the effect of EMS exercise and combined physical exercise on body weight. A dynamometer was used to measure the strength of hand and foot muscles. The measurements were done in two stages before the start of training and after six weeks of training. To analyze the data, a repeated measurement statistical test was used with a design of three groups (control-training-EMS training) x two times (pre-test-post-test). It was done and a significant level (P?۰.۰۵) was considered to test the hypotheses and make decisions about accepting or rejecting the hypotheses. The results of the study indicate that EMS exercises (p = ۰.۰۰۷) and physical exercises (p = ۰.۰۳۸) have a significant effect on FGF۲۱ serum levels, and EMS exercises and combined physical exercises have a significant effect on the interaction of time in the group. It was observed for GDF۱۵ (p=۰.۰۰۰۱) and also EMS training (p=۰.۰۰۲) and combined physical training (p=۰.۰۰۸) had a significant effect on the muscle strength of the right hand, EMS training (p=۰.۰۰۴) p=۰) had a significant effect, however, no significant effect was observed for physical training (p=۰.۰۷۴) on the muscle strength of the left hand, as well as EMS training (p=۰.۰۰۶) and combined physical training (۰.۰۰۱) =p) had a significant effect on leg muscle strength.

The results of the present research showed that EMS exercises can be considered as an effective method to improve serum
