Summary

This study looks at how a six-month hybrid training program (combining cardio and strength exercises) affects muscle cells in 30 overweight or obese adults. Researchers will measure changes in mitochondria, blood vessels, and other muscle components. The goal is to understand the molecular benefits of this type of exercise, not to test a new medicine.
