abstract = {This 12-week randomized controlled trial investigates the effects of different training
modalities on cardiometabolic risk in sedentary, middle-aged adults, and examines whether alterations
in cardiometabolic risk are associated with changes in those health-related variables that are modifiable
by exercise training. The study subjects were 71 middle-aged adults (~54 years old; ~50% women)
who were randomly assigned to one of the following treatment groups: (1) no exercise (control
group), (2) concurrent training based on international physical activity recommendations (PAR group),
(3) high intensity interval training (HIIT) group, or (4) HIIT plus whole-body electromyostimulation
(HIIT+EMS group). A cardiometabolic risk score was calculated based on the International Diabetes
Federation’s clinical criteria. A significant reduction in cardiometabolic risk was observed for all
exercise training groups compared to the control group (all p < 0.05), which persisted after adjusting
potential confounders (all p < 0.05). However, the HIIT+EMS group experienced the most significant
reduction (p < 0.001). A significant inverse relationship was detected between the change in lean mass
and the change in cardiometabolic risk (p = 0.045). A 12-week exercise training programs-especially
the HIIT+EMS program-significantly reduced cardiometabolic risk in sedentary, middle-aged adults
independent of sex, age, and cardiorespiratory fitness.},
