Background and Aim: There is contradiction information about the effect of different kinds of sports activities on coagulation factors. The purpose of this study was to find out the effect of training with Revoflex Xtreme for 8 weeks on some coagulation indices in adult women. Materials and Methods: The statistical population of this study was the females in the age range of 25-40 years living in Azadshahr city; which 30 of these volunteer women were selected randomly. These people were randomly divided into two groups as control and experimental groups. The experimental group performed stretching and resistance training protocol by using Revoflex Xtreme device for 8 weeks, 3 times per week. The exercises of each session were done for 60 minutes (15 minutes warming, 40 minutes main exercises, and 5 minutes cooling). Blood samples of the subjects were taken 24 hours before the first session of training and 24 hours after the last session of training protocols (after 8 weeks). Activated partial The rmoblastin time and Prothrombin time variables were measured by Stago device, moreover the plasma fibrinogen levels also were measured by coagulation method. The independent t-test was used to evaluate the differentiation between groups and dependent t-test also was used to identify these changes within groups; the significant level was considered at (p≤0.05). Results: Revoflex xtreme trainings decreased the amount of Fibrinogen level in experimental group compared to control group (p=0.02). But there was no significant difference in the amount of APTT (p=0.76) and PT (p=0.24) between two groups. Conclusion: Stretching and resistant exercises with Revoflex Xtreme is an effective factor for the improvement of blood variables associated with cardiovascular risk factors especially, the reduction of blood clots in adult women.
