The effects of different exercise intensities on body composition and cardiovascular risk indicators in children with metabolic syndrome: a RCT network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metabolic Syndrome in children, marked by obesity, insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, is rising globally, affecting body composition, cardiac function, and long-term health. Traditional treatments face challenges, especially for children. Exercise interventions, including low, medium, high, and extremely high intensities, have been studied for their benefits in improving body weight, reducing fat, and enhancing fitness. This paper evaluates the effects of these exercise intensities on body composition and cardiac function in children with Metabolic Syndrome, offering new insights for clinical treatment.

Methods

Six databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, EBSCO, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Cochrane
