OBESITY, CVD
All types of PA have a positive influence on whole-body and lower-body fat and muscle content. However, only VPA shows potential to significantly impact CAT volume. Moreover, short-term high-intensity exercise strategy in women with obesity shows promise, as three weeks of HICT induced positive changes in their body composition and muscular health. Future research is needed to explore vigorous intensity activity and high-intensity interval exercise interventions as tools for physical fitness optimization, CAT reduction and CVD risk management in women with obesity short- and long-term.
