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

1. venue: the individuals with diagnosis of metabolic syndrome are recruiting from university hospital outpatient clinic or primary clinic.
2. inclusion criteria: diagnosed of metabolic syndrome, agree to participate either programs, no history of participating regular exercise program past 6 months.
