Ambulatory and successive home-based heart rate targeted aerobic training improves arterial parameters: a follow-up study in people with metabolic syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Studies demonstrated that outpatient aerobic exercise programs (aEP) can significantly decrease aortic stiffness in people with metabolic syndrome (MetS). There is some limited data that remotely supervised home-based aEP can also improve arterial stiffness in this population. We aimed to evaluate the changes in the arterial wall parameters after the 2-month ambulatory supervised aEP followed by the 6-month home-based aEP with and without targeting of heart rate (HR) by electrocardiogram (ECG) in people with MetS.

Methods

In this prospective study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT05592704) 132 MetS subjects (mean age 52.44 ± 6.26 years, 54.55% female) were evaluated. At first, all subjects participated in the 2-month ambulatory supervised aEP, which consisted of
