Why the study?

No review or meta-analysis had compared the effects of HIIT to non-exercising controls on metabolic syndrome clinical variables.

Does High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) improve metabolic syndrome clinical biomarkers in adults with Metabolic Syndrome compared to non-exercising controls?

Comparison

HIIT vs non-exercising control group

Design

Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Implication

Supports HIIT as time-efficient therapy for metabolic syndrome; confirms cardiometabolic benefits in pooled randomized data.

Structured PICO

Does High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) improve metabolic syndrome clinical biomarkers in adults with Metabolic Syndrome compared to non-exercising controls?

Population

Adults (≥18 years) with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS). 10 RCTs pooling 529 patients (355 in HIIT groups, 174 in control groups).

Intervention

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) lasting at least 3 weeks (range 3 to 24 weeks), performed 3 to 5 sessions per week (modalities included cycling or walking/running).

Comparator

Non-exercising control group.

Outcome

Changes in Metabolic Syndrome clinical variables: fasting blood glucose (BG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and waist circumference (WC).surrogate

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is an effective, time-efficient non-pharmacological intervention that significantly improves blood glucose, blood pressure, and waist circumference in adults with Metabolic Syndrome.

Limitations

small sample size of each included study
lack of follow-up
lack of control of the group activities in the non-exercise groups
