First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether an 8-week circuit exercise program could improve markers of inflammation in overweight young women. Twenty-two women aged 20-30 were randomly assigned to either the exercise program or their usual routine. The exercise group showed increases in a beneficial hormone (adiponectin) and decreases in an inflammation marker (hs-CRP), suggesting potential heart health benefits.
