TLDR
A 12-week training program comprising of resistance or combination exercise, at moderate-intensity for 30 min, five days/week resulted in improvements in the cardiovascular risk profile in overweight and obese participants compared to no exercise.Abstract:
Background: Evidence suggests that exercise training improves CVD risk factors. However, it is unclear whether health benefits are limited to aerobic training or if other exercise modalities such as resistance training or a combination are as effective or more effective in the overweight and obese. The aim of this study is to investigate whether 12 weeks of moderate-intensity aerobic, resistance, or combined exercise training would induce and sustain improvements in cardiovascular risk profile, weight and fat loss in overweight and obese adults compared to no exercise. Methods: Twelve-week randomized parallel design examining the effects of different exercise regimes on fasting measures of lipids, glucose and insulin and changes in body weight, fat mass and dietary intake. Participants were randomized to either: Group 1 (Control, n=16); Group 2 (Aerobic, n=15); Group 3 (Resistance, n=16); Group 4 (Combination, n=17). Data was analysed using General Linear Model to assess the effects of the groups after adjusting for baseline values. Within-group data was analyzed with the paired t-test and between-group effects using post hoc comparisons. Results: Significant improvements in body weight (�1.6%, p=0.044) for the Combination group compared to Control and Resistance groups and total body fat compared to Control (�4.4%, p=0.003) and Resistance (�3%, p=0.041). Significant improvements in body fat percentage (�2.6%, p=0.008), abdominal fat percentage (�2.8%, p=0.034) and cardio-respiratory fitness (13.3%, p=0.006) were seen in the Combination group compared to Control. Levels of ApoB48 were 32% lower in the Resistance group compared to Control (p=0.04). Conclusion: A 12-week training program comprising of resistance or combination exercise, at moderate-intensity for 30 min, five days/week resulted in improvements in the cardiovascular risk profile in overweight and obese participants compared to no exercise. From our observations, combination exercise gave greater benefits for weight loss, fat loss and cardio-respiratory fitness than aerobic and resistance training modalities. Therefore, combination exercise training should be recommended for overweight and obese adults in National Physical Activity Guidelines. This clinical trial was registered with the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR), registration number: ACTRN12609000684224.read more

TL;DR: The highest amount of weekly exercise, with minimal weight change, had widespread beneficial effects on the lipoprotein profile, seen most clearly with the high amount of high-intensity exercise.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that evidence from trials linking exercise to cardiovascular health through intermediate biomarkers remains inconsistent, although guidelines recommend exercise for cardiovascular health, although evidence from randomized clinical trials remains inconsistent.

TL;DR: HIFT participants spent significantly less time exercising per week, yet were able to maintain exercise enjoyment and were more likely to intend to continue, and high-intensity exercise options should be included in public health interventions.

TL;DR: To investigate the influence of resistance training (RT), aerobic training (AT), or combination training (CT) interventions on the body composition, muscle strength performance, and insulin‐like growth factor 1 (IGF‐1) of patients with sarcopenic obesity, a large number of patients are obese.

TL;DR: For nonwhite adult samples with hypertension, dynamic RT may elicit BP reductions that are comparable to or greater than those reportedly achieved with AE training, and dynamic RT should be further investigated as a viable stand‐alone therapeutic exercise option for adult populations with high BP.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the amount and intensity of exercise on lipoproteins were investigated in a prospective, randomized study, where a total of 111 sedentary, overweight men and women with mild-to-moderate dyslipidemia were randomly assigned to participate for six months in a control group or for approximately eight months in one of three exercise groups: high-amount-high-intensity exercise, the caloric equivalent of jogging 20 mi (32.0 km) per week at 65 to 80 percent of peak oxygen consumption; low-amount -high-intensive exercise
