Implication

Supports AIT, ST, or combination for metabolic syndrome; extends RCT evidence on waist circumference reduction versus control.

Structured PICO

Does aerobic interval training, strength training, or their combination improve risk factors in participants with metabolic syndrome?

P
Population
43 participants with metabolic syndrome
I
Intervention
Aerobic interval training (AIT), strength training (ST), or a combination of AIT and ST (COM) 3 times/wk for 12 wk
C
Comparator
Control group
O
Outcome
Risk factors comprising metabolic syndrome (including waist circumference, peak O2 uptake, maximal strength, endothelial function, body weight, fasting plasma glucose, and HDL levels)surrogate

Aerobic interval training, strength training, and their combination all have beneficial effects on physiological abnormalities associated with metabolic syndrome.
