Key result
A 16-week combined aerobic/resistance training and diet-induced weight loss intervention improved relative flow-mediated dilation from 4.0% to 6.9% (P<0.05) in overweight and obese young women.

May support combined diet-exercise for endothelial function in overweight young women; hypothesis-generating, requiring RCTs before practice change.
Does a 16-week diet and exercise intervention improve endothelial function in overweight and obese young women?
Absolute Event Rate: 6.9% vs 4%
p-value: p=< 0.05
A 16-week combined diet and exercise intervention improves endothelial function and reduces body mass in overweight young women, without altering circulating markers of inflammation or vasoconstriction.
Cotie et al. (2014) studied Overweight and obese (n=20). Combined aerobic and resistance training and caloric restriction vs. Baseline was evaluated on Relative brachial artery flow mediated dilation (FMD) (p=< 0.05). A 16-week combined aerobic/resistance training and diet-induced weight loss intervention improved relative flow-mediated dilation from 4.0% to 6.9% (P<0.05) in overweight and obese young women.
