This study aimed to study the effect of high intensity interval training (HIIT) using royal jelly consumption on triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in overweight and obese middle-aged men. Methods: This study was conducted on 60 middle-aged men, who were randomly divided into four groups: 1) control + Placebo, 2) training, 3) royal jelly supplementation, and 4) training + royal jelly supplementation. The subjects of training and training + royal jelly supplementation groups performed the training protocol. The HIIT protocol was implemented for eight weeks with high intensity of 85-95% of the maximum heart rate, and active rest periods included 60-70% of the maximum heart rate. The participants in the royal jelly supplementation groups received a 1000 mg capsule once a day. The SPSS software version 22, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey’s post hoc tests were utilized to perform intergroup data analysis, and a dependent sample t-test was used to carry out intra-group data analysis at a significance level as much as P≤0.05. Results: LDL, TC, and TG serum levels were reduced and HDL was increased in HIIT training, consumption of royal jelly, and training + royal jelly supplementation in overweight and obese middle-aged men (p ≥ 0.05). Conclusion: According to the results, HIIT combined with royal jelly supplementation could improve lipid profile in obese or overweight people prone to cardiovascular disease and various types of diabetes.
