Effects of aerobic exercise combined with resistance training on health-related physical fitness in adolescents: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

/Objective: This study aimed to compare the effects of two combined training methods on health-related physical fitness components in adolescents.

Methods

Seventy-six adolescents (16.1 ± 1.1 years, n = 44 female) were randomized into groups of moderate-intensity continuous training combined with resistance training (MICT + RT), high-intensity interval training combined with resistance training (HIIT + RT), or Control. The training sessions were performed twice weekly for 12 weeks. The health-related physical fitness components evaluated were: body composition, muscular and cardiorespiratory fitness.

Results

The intervention groups had a significant reduction in body fat percentage and improvement in abdominal repetitions and VO_2peak after 12 week
