Effect of FATmax-Intensity Exercise on Body Composition and Cardiovascular Health in Overweight and Obese Individuals: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
By Zhao G, Khong TK, Yan Y and 1 others.
Abstract
Purpose
To determine the effects of exercising at maximal fat oxidation (FATmax) intensity on body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, and metabolism outcomes in overweight and obese individuals through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods
Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, and the Cochrane Library. Search terms included FATmax or maximal fat oxidation, obesity or overweight, BMI, [Formula: see text], diastolic blood pressure (DBP), systolic blood pressure (SBP), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR). Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane guidelines and the quality of evidence using GRADE. A random-effects model (Stata 16.0) calculated pooled mean differences for outcomes.
