Effects of exercise alone or combined with dietary restriction on leptin and adiponectin in overweight or obese individuals: a network meta-analysis
Exercise interventions, particularly when combined with dietary restriction, are more effective in reducing leptin levels, while HIIT, COM, and RT alone appear to be more effective in increasing adiponectin levels. These findings provide scientific evidence for personalized obesity management strategies and highlight the synergistic role of exercise and dietary restriction in adipokine regulation.
