Detailed Description
Objective: The purpose is to study in a group of adults with metabolic syndrome and obesity, the effects of different modalities of exercise training on cardiorespiratory and metabolic fitness. The main objective is to weight the effects of exercise training separately and in conjunction with the subject's habitual pharmacological treatment to identify the best combination of drug and exercise.
Methods and design: Randomized, pretest-posttest control group experimental design. Project developed in a single center with the collaboration of the regional public health system.
Subjects: Will be referred by their primary care physicians to our study unit. Up to 40 subjects all of them with metabolic syndrome will be recruited (at least 20% women).
Measurements:
-
Specifically, the investigators, will study cardiovascular adaptations that increase, i) maximal aerobic capacity measured by VO2max, ii) anaerobic and respiratory compensation point ventilatory thresholds, iii) arterial stiffness, measured by pulse wave velocity (SphygmoCor System), v) central and peripheral blood pressure, and iv) biological markers of endothelial dysfunction using reactive hyperemia with a laser Doppler fluxmeter in central and peripheral blood vessels.
-
The metabolic adaptations under study will include, i) insulin sensitivity by HOMA-IR,
- fat oxidation by indirect calorimetry

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: PLACEBO FIRST THEN MEDICATED Subjects first receive the PLACEBO tablet during 72 hours (full withdrawal). After a week of taking again their medication (MEDICATION TRIAL), they will be tested again. This procedure will be repeated before and after 4 months of aerobic training. |
Drug: MEDICATION AND EXERCISE TRAINING
PARTICIPANTS WILL BE (IN A RANDOMIZED BLINDED FASHION) WITHDRAWN OF THEIR HYPERTENSIVE MEDICATION (I.E., PLACEBO) IN ONE OCCASION AND TESTED WITH THEIR MEDICATION IN ANOTHER, WITH A WEEK WASHOUT PERIOD.
THIS TESTING WILL BE REPEATED AFER 4 MONTHS OF EXERCISE TRAINING (48 SESSIONS OF 43 MIN EACH ONE).
