Effect of Aerobic and Resistance Exercise on Cardiac Adipose Tissues: Secondary Analyses From a Randomized Clinical Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Epicardial and pericardial adipose tissues are emerging as important risk factors for cardiovascular disease, and there is a growing interest in discovering strategies to reduce the accumulation of fat in these depots.

Objective

To investigate whether a 12-week endurance or resistance training intervention regulates epicardial and pericardial adipose tissue mass.

Design, setting, and participants

Secondary analysis of a randomized, assessor-blinded clinical trial initiated on August 2016 and completed April 2018. This single-center, community-based study included 50 physically inactive participants with abdominal obesity.

Interventions

Participants were randomized to a supervised high-intensity interval endurance training (3 times a week for 45 minut
