What this study is about

The increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity is becoming a concern worldwide as it is associated with the increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases. One of the main reasons for this problem is that more adults did not fulfill the weekly physical activity recommendations, with the lack of time and motivation as the main factor. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of a high-intensity circuit training program and the more familiar moderate-intensity continuous training in improving body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, lipid profile, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers in young adult males. At the same time, it also explores its adherence through its enjoyment scale and gradual changes in supervision. This experimental study compares pre- and post-tests in the two groups. 3-days food records and 7-days physical activity will be measured monthly as the confounding factors.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.
