The growing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the worldwide is becoming a serious health problem and economic burden. MetS has become a crucial risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The rising rates of CVD and diabetes, which are the two leading causes of death. To prevent the progression of MetS to diabetes and CVD, regular physical activity is required.
Elliptical trainer device is a relatively new modality of exercise and is advertised to be superior to a treadmill because of the low joint impact and the more reasonable costs of an elliptical trainer compared to a treadmill. Additional quantitative research is needed to further evaluate the effectiveness of elliptical trainers and the physiological and perceptual responses to the machine.
Forty sedentary MeTS patients (from both sexes) will be randomly divided to group A and group B.
-Group A (Elliptical training group): This group (n=20) will receive aerobic training on an elliptical trainer for 16 weeks (3 sessions per week). The session will start with 5 minutes warming up at 50 % of maximal heart rate (MHR), 20-minute continuous ET at 70% of MHR, 12 minutes (4×3) intervals at 90% of MHR with a 3-minute active recovery at 70% of MHR between intervals, and finally 5-minute cool-down period at 50% of MHR.
Group B: this group will continue their normal daily physical activities without any additional training
