Summary

Physical inactivity and sedentary time are highly prevalent worldwide and are associated with many adverse health outcomes. Workers adults spend two-thirds of their workday sitting, so they are particularly at risk. Exercise is considered a preventive and treatment tool for diseases, however, the effects of Concurrent Training (that is, aerobic plus resistance training) are not well established in healthy adults.

This research project aims to analyze the effects of a concurrent training program on metabolic profile, lung function, stress and quality of life, as well as body composition and physical fitness in sedentary adults.

This is a single-blinded two-arm RCT with parallel groups. After completion of baseline assessments, eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to participate in concurrent training group or control group. Repeat assessments will be taken immediately post 8 weeks and post 16 weeks of intervention.
