Background: Obesity represents an important cardiovascular risk factor. Weight reduction is the common goal in the treatment of obesity. There is sufficient evidence supporting the role of exercise training in promoting weight loss. Measures of obesity, such as body mass index, may be associated with higher resting cardiac troponin (cTn) level.. The purpose: To determine cardiac troponin response to resisted versus aerobic exercises in obese women. Methodology: Forty obese women randomly selected from employers of Kasr Al Aini teaching hospital, their ages ranged from 30 to 40 years and their BMI from 30-35kg/m².This study conducted from September 2017 to January 2018 at Kaser Al-Aini teaching Hospital, Cairo governorate, Eygpt, confidentiality was assured. Design of the study: Subjects were assigned randomly into two group equal in number (A and B). Group (A) received a single bout of resisted exercise. Group (B) received a single bout of aerobic exercise. Cardiac troponin I ( cTnI) was analysed before and after 3hours of the exercise bout. The Results: There was a significant increase in CTnI in group (A) and (B) when comparing pre and post exercise values, there was significant difference in the cTnI of group A compared with that of group B post exercise (The mean difference between both groups was 0.01 ng/ml) and there was non significant weak correlation between BMI and CTnI level in both groups pre and post exercise. Conclusion: Aerobic exercises were more suitable and safe than resisted exercises for obese women
