Exercise Training and Respiratory Muscle Training in Individuals With Metabolic Syndrome(METS)

The study will be conducted on individuals with Metabolic Syndrome. There are many studies showing that aerobic exercise provides significant improvements in waist circumference, fasting glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), Triglyceride (TG), systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP-DBP), and cardiorespiratory fitness on METS parameters. However, although the beneficial effects of physical activity are known, only half of the population adheres to the 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity per week recommendation. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a type of training that uses near-maximal intensities in short-term sessions. HIIT has been used to improve compliance because it requires less time to treat patients with cardiometabolic disease. Compared to continuous aerobic exercise, this type of training has been shown to be an effective alternative for improving maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max), blood pressure, heart function, glucose and lipid metabolism, and markers of oxidative stress and inflammation. In the literature, HIIT has been studied in patients with METS and has been shown to be effective. In addition, a study showed that seven-day respiratory muscle training was also effective on METS parameters, but there is no study showing the long-term effects of respiratory muscle training in this patient group. Therefore, in our study, researchers aimed to show the effects of respiratory muscle training given with HIIT on METS parameters.
