Why the study?

Knowledge gaps exist regarding how to properly prescribe concurrent training for the best dose-response, particularly the optimal intensity or volume of the aerobic component in metabolic syndrome.

Does concurrent training combining resistance exercise and high-intensity interval training or moderate-intensity continuous training improve metabolic outcomes in older adults with metabolic syndrome?

Comparison

RT plus HIIT vs RT plus MICT vs control without formal exercise

Discussion

Implication

RT+HIIT may confer broader cardiometabolic gains than RT+MICT in older adults with metabolic syndrome; extends concurrent training evidence in this population.

Structured PICO

Population

39 sedentary adults and older adults (mean age 67.0 ± 6.7 years, 74% female) with metabolic syndrome (MetS) according to IDF criteria, recruited from a public cardiology institution in Portugal.

Intervention

Concurrent training combining resistance training (RT) and either high-intensity interval training (HIIT) at 80-90% HRmax or moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) at 60-70% HRmax. Administered 3 times per week, 50 minutes per session, for 12 weeks.

Comparator

Control group (CON) receiving no formal exercise program, maintaining usual physical activity and dietary patterns.

Outcome

Morphological, metabolic, and hemodynamic variables (including waist circumference, fasting glucose, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, insulin, HOMA-IR, and blood pressure) evaluated at 12 weeks.surrogate

In older adults with metabolic syndrome, concurrent training combining resistance exercise with high-intensity interval training yields broader cardiometabolic improvements than moderate-intensity continuous training.

Limitations

Small sample size
Short-term intervention length (12 weeks)
Small-to-moderate effect sizes
