Why the study?
Evidence suggests exercise training improves cardiometabolic risk factors, but the comparative effects of 12 weeks of HIIT, resistance training, concurrent training, or nutritional guidance were not fully established.
Do 12 weeks of different exercise training modalities or nutritional guidance improve cardiometabolic risk factors, vascular parameters, and physical fitness in sedentary and overweight adults?
Population

Both HIIT and RT warrant inclusion in prescriptions for overweight adults; extends RCT evidence for modality-specific cardiometabolic benefits.
Do 12 weeks of different exercise training modalities or nutritional guidance improve cardiometabolic risk factors, vascular parameters, and physical fitness in sedentary and overweight adults?
In overweight adults, 12 weeks of HIIT improves cardiorespiratory fitness, whereas resistance training improves vascular profile, supporting the use of both modalities for cardiometabolic health.
