The effect of exercise on the cardiovascular risk factors constituting the metabolic syndrome: a meta-analysis of controlled trials.

TLDR
The results suggest that dynamic endurance training has a favourable effect on most of the cardiovascular risk factors associated with the MetS, however, in the search for training programmes that optimally improve total cardiovascular risk, further research is warranted.
