Key result
A 12-week exercise training program, especially HIIT plus electromyostimulation, significantly reduced cardiometabolic risk in sedentary, middle-aged adults compared to no exercise (p<0.001).
Why the study?
The study investigated the effects of different training modalities on cardiometabolic risk in sedentary, middle-aged adults, and whether alterations in risk associate with changes in exercise-modifiable health-related variables.

p-value: p=<0.05
A 12-week exercise training program, particularly HIIT combined with whole-body electromyostimulation, significantly reduces cardiometabolic risk scores in sedentary middle-aged adults.
Amaro‐Gahete et al. (2019) conducted an RCT in Cardiometabolic risk (n=71). Exercise training (PAR, HIIT, or HIIT+EMS) vs. No exercise was evaluated on Cardiometabolic risk score (p=<0.05). A 12-week exercise training program, especially HIIT plus electromyostimulation, significantly reduced cardiometabolic risk in sedentary, middle-aged adults compared to no exercise (p<0.001).
