Abstract Synopsis

  • The study systematically reviews the effectiveness of five exercise types (continuous endurance, interval training, resistance training, combined aerobic and resistance training, and hybrid training) on cardiometabolic health in overweight and obese adults.
  • Combined training emerged as the most effective method for improving health outcomes, with hybrid training following closely.
  • This suggests that multicomponent exercise interventions are generally more beneficial than single-component workouts for enhancing cardiometabolic health in this demographic.
