Within‐Day Timing of Concurrent Training Affects Inflammation and Body Composition in Young Adults With Obesity
Authors' conclusion
Within-day continuity of concurrent training reduced fat mass more than temporally separated training in young adults with obesity. An exploratory association with reduced IL-6 was observed but requires confirmation.
Study context
- Population
- Young adults with obesity
- Participants
- 64 adults
- Comparison
- Continuous training vs separated training
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Body composition (body mass, BMI, body fat mass, BF%) · 8 weeks
- Both groups showed significant reductions in body mass, BMI, body fat mass and BF% over time
- all p < 0.05
Further findings
Inflammatory markers · 8 weeks
- IL-6: only inflammatory marker with significant interaction effect, decreasing in continuous training (CT), unchanged in separated training (ST)
- P < 0.001
- TNF-α decreased significantly over time in both groups
- IL-10 and IL-1β showed no significant interaction effects
