Exercise showdown: HIIT vs. combined training for postmenopausal health
NCT ID NCT07302191
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at how two types of exercise—high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and combined aerobic and strength training—affect health markers in obese women after menopause. Forty-five women were split into three groups: HIIT, combined training, or no exercise. Over 12 weeks, researchers measured changes in body composition, heart health indicators, and oxidative stress. The goal was to see which exercise approach works best for improving health in this group.
