Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To analyze the effects of different exercise training modalities (continuous, intervallic, and resistance training) on cardiorespiratory and metabolic fitness of metabolic syndrome patients when this training interacts with their habitual medication.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Objective: The purpose is to study in a group of adults with metabolic syndrome and obesity, the effects of different modalities of exercise training on cardiorespiratory and metabolic fitness. The main objective is to weight the effects of exercise training separately and in conjunction with the subject's habitual pharmacological treatment to identify the best combination of drug and exercise.

Methods and design: Randomized, pretest-posttest control group experimental design. Project developed in a single center with the collaboration of the regional public health system.

Subjects: Will be referred by their primary care physicians to our study unit. Up to 40 subjects all of them with metabolic syndrome will be recruited (at least 20% women).

Measurements:

1. Specifically, the investigators, will study cardiovascular adaptations that increase, i) maximal aerobic capacity measured by VO2max, ii) anaerobic and respiratory compensation point ventilatory thresholds, iii) arterial stiffness, measured by pulse wave velocity (SphygmoCor System), v) central and peripheral blood pressure, and iv) biological markers of endothelial dysfunction using reactive hyperemia with a laser Doppler fluxmeter in central and peripheral blood vessels.
2. The metabolic adaptations under study will include, i) insulin sensitivity by HOMA-IR, ii) fat oxidation by indirect calorimetry

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PLACEBO FIRST THEN MEDICATED

Subjects first receive the PLACEBO tablet during 72 hours (full withdrawal). After a week of taking again their medication (MEDICATION TRIAL), they will be tested again. This procedure will be repeated before and after 4 months of aerobic training.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

MEDICATION AND EXERCISE TRAINING

Intervention Type DRUG

PARTICIPANTS WILL BE (IN A RANDOMIZED BLINDED FASHION) WITHDRAWN OF THEIR HYPERTENSIVE MEDICATION (I.E., PLACEBO) IN ONE OCCASION AND TESTED WITH THEIR MEDICATION IN ANOTHER, WITH A WEEK WASHOUT PERIOD.

THIS TESTING WILL BE REPEATED AFER 4 MONTHS OF EXERCISE TRAINING (48 SESSIONS OF 43 MIN EACH ONE).

MEDICATED FIRST THEN PLACEBO

Subjects first receive their antihypertensive MEDICATION tablet (habitual dose prescribed by their primary care doctors). After a week they will take a PLACEBO tablet for 72 hours and will be tested again. This procedure will be repeated before and after 4 months of aerobic training.
