Title: | Effects of combined training on metabolic profile, lung function, stress and quality of life in sedentary adults: A study protocol for a randomized controlled trial | Authors: | Ferreira, José Pedro Duarte-Mendes, Pedro Teixeira, Ana M. Silva, Fernanda M. |
Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | Public Library of Science | Project: | FCT - grant 2020.08759.BD | Serial title, monograph or event: | PLoS ONE | Volume: | 17 | Issue: | 2 | Abstract: | Both physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are considered modifiable risk factors for chronic diseases and all-cause mortality. Adult office-workers spend most of their working day in sedentary behaviors, so they are particularly at high risk of developed chronic diseases (e.g., cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders like diabetes mellitus, …). It seems important to promote behavioral changes that could prevent or delay metabolic disease development. Evidence supports the use of exercise programs, however, to date there are several knowledge gaps and inconsistencies in the literature regarding the effects of Combined Training (i.e., aerobic plus resistance training) in sedentary healthy adults. This paper outlines an RCT designed to evaluate the effects of a 16-week combined training program on biochemical and immune markers of metabolic disease, lung function, salivary stress hormones and subjective quality of life (primary outcomes), as well as on body composition and physical fitness (secondary outcomes) in sedentary middle-aged office-workers. Furthermore, we aimed to assess the associations between the changes promoted by the exercise program and the different variables studied. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/103467 | ISSN: | 1932-6203 | DOI: | 10.1371/journal.pone.0263455 | Rights: | openAccess |
