Abstract Aims The study determines the effect of 8 weeks of calcium and vitamin D supplementation with TRX on body composition and lipid profile of overweight women. Some studies show that calcium and vitamin D consumption and TRX exercise effect on weight loss and in contrast, some do not effects. Methods Forty overweight women with vitamin D and calcium deficiency were selected and then randomly divided into four groups; exercise and supplement (SUP&TRX = 10), exercise (TRX = 10), supplement (SUP = 10) and control (C = 10). The TRX exercise administered 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week. The supplement group consumed 1000 mg of calcium and 1000 IU of vitamin D. The blood samples and anthropometric measurements collected in pretest and posttest. Repeated Analysis of Covariance used to measure within and between group changes, and Bonferroni post hoc test determined to differences between groups. Results After 8 weeks, HDL levels and BMI were significantly changed in the SUP&TRX compared to the other groups (p   0.05). Conclusion Eight weeks TRX training with supplementation improved BMI and HDL serum level. The intensity and duration of training and supplementation probably have positive effects on lipids profiles.
