This study aimed to propose the most effective exercise program for overweight female wrestlers by comparing aerobic exercise, resis-tance exercise, and a combination exercise program. Thirty overweight female wrestlers were randomly assigned to the aerobic exercise group (AEG, n=10), resistance exercise group (n=10), and combined exercise group (CEG, n=10). Exercise intensity was set at 70% of maxi-mal oxygen uptake and one-repetition maximum. Each group exercised for 50 min per session, 7 times per week, for 12 weeks. The study ana-lyzed body composition, insulin resistance (IR), tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and C-reactive protein (CRP). After 12 weeks, body weight and body fat significantly decreased in all groups, with the most pronounced reduction observed in the AEG. IR also sig-nificantly improved in all groups, with the greatest reduction in the AEG. Finally, TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP levels decreased in all groups, with the most notable reduction observed in the CEG. The 12-week exercise program implemented in this study had positive effects on weight and body fat reduction, IR improvement, and decreases in TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP lev-els among overweight female wrestlers. These findings suggest that the program can contribute to enhancing athletic performance and dai-ly activities through weight management, metabolic health, and inflam-mation control.
