Key result
Aerobic training reduces recovery HR by ~7 bpm and improves cardiometabolic profiles in obese sedentary women.
Why the study?
The effects of aerobic versus resistance training on cardiovascular and metabolic parameters in obese sedentary women were not well established.
Does aerobic or resistance training improve cardiovascular fitness, metabolic, and anthropometric parameters in obese sedentary females?
RCT (n=30)
Randomly grouped
No
Does aerobic or resistance training improve cardiovascular fitness, metabolic, and anthropometric parameters in obese sedentary females?
Mean Difference: 6.7 (95% CI 4.82–8.579)
Absolute Event Rate: 90.7% vs 97.4%
p-value: p=<0.001
A 6-week aerobic training program significantly improves recovery heart rate, lipid profiles, and blood pressure in obese sedentary women, offering greater cardiovascular benefits than resistance training.

Exercise may improve cardiac and metabolic parameters in obese women; hypothesis-generating, requires larger trials before practice change.
Chaudhary et al. (2010) conducted an RCT in Obesity (n=30). Aerobic training vs. Resistance training and Control was evaluated on Recovery heart rate at 3 minutes post-exercise (pre-post difference) (MD 6.7, 95% CI 4.820-8.579, p=<0.001). Aerobic training significantly reduced 3-minute recovery heart rate from 97.4 to 90.7 beats/min (p<0.001) and improved blood pressure and lipid profiles in obese sedentary women.
