Which exercise best trims belly fat and heart risk?

This trial tests whether the type of physical activity—resistance, endurance, or a mix—combined with a low-calorie diet can reduce belly fat and cardiovascular risk in people with metabolic syndrome. Adults aged 50-70 with metabolic syndrome are randomly assigned to one of three exercise groups, all following the same restrictive diet. After an initial training period, participants follow the program at home and are monitored for a year. The main goal is to see which exercise approach most effectively shrinks abdominal circumference, a key marker of metabolic syndrome.
