Abstract :
Metabolic syndrome is a combination of most dangerous cardiovascular risk factors, including hyperglycemia, increased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high triglycerides, high systolic blood pressure, and increased waist circumference. Increasing physical activity in the prevention, primary treatment of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome is recommended due to the benefits of cardiac protection related to improving cardiorespiratory fitness. The aim of this experimental and applied study is to analyze the effects of simultaneous performance of high-intensity interval training and resistance training in combination with a low-calorie diet on metabolic indicators in elderly women with metabolic syndrome. The findings of the present study indicate that simultaneous high-intensity interval training and resistance training in combination with a low-calorie diet provides multiple metabolic benefits in obese women with metabolic syndrome after a 16-week intervention. Simultaneous implementation of high-intensity interval training and resistance training in combination with a low-calorie diet can potentially lead to significant improvements in weight, body mass index, fasting blood sugar, insulin, insulin resistance, and C-reactive protein in people with metabolic syndrome.
