Metabolic adaptation
No changes in fasting plasma glucose, insulin, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), homeostasis model assessment of insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR), body composition, and VO(2peak) were observed after training.
Short-term exercise does not lead to changes in key metabolic markers in sedentary obese individuals.
StrongRefutesmedium confidence
No changes in BMI, body composition, VO(2peak), glucose, insulin, NEFA and HOMA-IR were observed after training, either within or between groups.
