The effect of concurrent training order on hormonal responses and body composition in obese men

What exercise prescription is optimal to improve body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness in adults living with obesity? A network meta‐analysis

“…Of these, 129 were excluded as they did not fulfil our inclusion criteria. The remaining 45 studies were included in this review 13–15,17,21,38–77 . The detailed process is illustrated in Figure 1.…”

Supervised exercise following bariatric surgery in morbid obese adults: CERT-based exercise study protocol of the EFIBAR randomised controlled trial

“…It has been suggested that performing aerobic exercise prior to strength training could result in impaired strength training performance (e.g., strength exercises technique), and unfavourable responses to strength (decrease in force production) when strength training is conducted with moderate to high loads in the general population [26]. Moreover, in a previous study conducted in obese men, concurrent strength prior to aerobic training generated a greater effect in reducing body fat compared to aerobic prior to strength training [27]. However, further research is still needed to know which order (i.e., strength prior to aerobic or vice versa) produces greater benefits in BS patients.…”

“…Most studies indicate that regular exercise training leads to beneficial effects on cardiovascular indices such as blood lipids, insulin resistance and leptin concentration [12,13]; however, the duration and intensity of exercises should be enough. Sheikholeslami-Vatani, et al reported that concurrent training is the best method to enhance health level, improve physical fitness and decrease cardiovascular risk factors [14]. Concurrent training can be defined as incorporating both resistance and endurance exercise elements within a training regime.…”

“…Recovery period were 2 and 3 minutes between sets and exercises, respectively. Also, the endurance exercise consisted of running at 70-75% of HRmax for 15 min [14]. General and specific warm-up were performed prior to training session that consisted of running with 50% of HRmax (5 min), and then perform 2 sets of 12 repetitions of the first resistance exercise at 40% of 1RM (10 min), and in the end, 5 min of cool down was performed by stretching movements.…”
