Cardiometabolic HIIT-RT Study
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Several studies have shown relationship between exercise intensity and improvement cardiometabolic health such as body composition, endothelial function, blood pressure and blood lipids. It has been suggested that high intensity interval training and also strength or resistance training generate positive effects on metabolic risk factors, nevertheless the comparison between both types of training and their combination has not yet provided conclusive evidence. Also, it has been shown that dietary restriction has similar or more positive effects that exercise alone and the effect is greater when it is combined with exercise. For these reasons, it is necessary to clarify which type of training, in combination with a dietary restriction, is more effective to improve cardiometabolic health

Detailed Description
The investigators hypothesized that high intensity interval, resistance training or combined training would result in similar improvements in cardiometabolic health as compared to the usual clinical care in a cohort of sedentary overweight (age 30-50 years old).
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: High Intensity Interval Walking on a treadmill 4min at 80-90% peak heart rate and recovery 4 min at 65% peak heart rate until expenditure of 300 kcal during adaptation (first 4 weeks) and 500 kcal after week number 4 until the end of training. |
Behavioral: High Intensity Interval
Exercise will be performed at three sessions per week. All sessions will be supervised by a trained health or exercise professional.
|
| Active Comparator: Resistance training Completing a resistance circuit (including upper and lower muscle groups) as many times as needed according to subject weight until expenditure of 300 kcal during adaptation (first 4 weeks) at 20-30% of 1 one-rep max and 500 kcal after week number 4 until the end of training, at 40-60% of one-rep max. |
Behavioral: Resistance training
Exercise will be performed at three sessions per week. All sessions will be supervised by a trained health or exercise professional.
|
| Active Comparator: Plus: High Intensity Interval + Resistance Training Walking on a treadmill as intervention 1 until 50% the energy expenditure prescribed is reached, then completing a resistance circuit until 100% energy expenditure is reached. Exercise will be performed at three sessions per week. |
Behavioral: Plus: High Intensity Interval + Resistance Training
Exercise will be performed at three sessions per week. All sessions will be supervised by a trained health or exercise professional.
|
| Placebo Comparator: Usual clinical care This group will receive the usual clinical care according to the consensus recommendations of the national goals for cardiovascular health promotion and disease reduction of the American Heart Association and Colombian guidelines COLDEPORTES. |
Other: Usual clinical care
Dietary restriction (1300-1500kcal) 50-52% carbohydrates, 33-35% fat, 15-20% protein

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change from Baseline in endothelial function as measured by flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
FMD will be measured using the guidelines reported by Corretti et al. The diameter of the brachial artery will be assessed using a high-resolution ultrasound device (Siemens SG-60, USA), equipped with a 7.5 MHz linear array transducer.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change from Baseline in body Composition as measured by Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
Changes in abdominal and total adiposity (DEXA), lean tissue mass and bone mass (DEXA) the 12 weeks intervention program
- Body Weight [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
- Body Mass Index [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
BMI will be calculated as the body weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in meters.
- Blood Pressure [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
- Change from Baseline in peak uptake of volume of oxygen [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
It will be determined using a maximum treadmill exercise test (Precor TRM 885, Italy) following the modified Balke protocol
- Change from Baseline in muscular fitness [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
Muscular fitness (MF) will be assessed using handgrip test (maximum handgrip strength assessment) using a standard adjustable handle analogue handgrip dynamometer T-18 TKK SMEDLY III®
- Change from Baseline in Flexibility using the sit and reach test [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
- Change from Baseline in LDL Cholesterol [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
- Change from Baseline in HDL Cholesterol [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
- Change from Baseline in Triglycerides [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
- Change from Baseline in Glucose [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
- Change from Baseline in Hemoglobin A1c [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
- Change from Baseline in Quality & satisfaction with life by SF Community - short-form survey (SF-12™) Colombian version [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
- Change from Baseline in Heart rate variability [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
HRV will be performed according to current recommendations by European Society of Cardiology using an evaluated share-ware
- 24-hour dietary recall [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
Dietary data will be collected from participants on 24h of their study enrollment. Prior to administration of the 24HR, each subject received two-dimensional food models with depiction of foods and serving sizes in order to assist in reporting portion sizes of food intake.
- Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVao) and augmentation index (AIx) [Baseline and 12 weeks immediately after the interventions ends]
PWVao and AIx will be measured with oscillometric method using the occlusion technique.
