Brief summary
This study investigates the effects of different volumes of high-intensity interval training on risk factors for metabolic syndrome in overweight young women.
Detailed description
The sedentary and inactive female overweight subjects, aged 18 to 30 years, were randomly divided into three groups: high volume high-intensity interval training group (4HIIT group), low volume high-intensity interval training group (1HIIT group) and control group (CON group). Human morphological measures, blood pressure, insulin resistance, blood analysis, and cardiorespiratory fitness were measured at baseline and after exercise intervention.
