Key result
Endurance training showed a significant difference in improving cardiovascular health parameters compared to strength training in obese women (p ≤ 0.05).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to analyze the effective form of physical exercise in improving cardiovascular health in obese individuals.
Does endurance or strength training improve cardiovascular health parameters in obese women?
RCT (n=24)
Does endurance or strength training improve cardiovascular health parameters in obese women?
p-value: p=≤0.05
Endurance training for 1 month significantly improves cardiovascular health parameters compared to strength training in obese young women.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May favor short-term endurance over strength training for CV health in obese young women; hypothesis-generating, needs RCTs before practice change.
Sugiharto et al. (2023) conducted an RCT in Obesity (n=24). Endurance training and strength training vs. Control group was evaluated on Cardiovascular health (heart rate and blood pressure) (p=≤0.05). Endurance training showed a significant difference in improving cardiovascular health parameters compared to strength training in obese women (p ≤ 0.05).
