Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This research project aims to analyze the effects of a concurrent training program on metabolic profile, lung function, stress and quality of life, as well as body composition and physical fitness in sedentary adults.
This is a single-blinded two-arm RCT with parallel groups. After completion of baseline assessments, eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to participate in concurrent training group or control group. Repeat assessments will be taken immediately post 8 weeks and post 16 weeks of intervention.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Concurrent Training Group
The experimental group will perform 16-weeks of the concurrent training exercise.
Concurrent training program
