Time Restricted Fasting and Aerobic Exercise Interventions Among Sedentary Adults

Effects of Time Restricted Fasting and Exercise on Cardiovascular Risks Among Sedentary Adults

This project will determine the independent and combined effects of aerobic exercise and time restricted fasting on cardiovascular risks among sedentary middle-aged and elderly adults. The online intervention period will be eight weeks. Before and after the intervention, arterial stiffness, cardiac autonomic nervous, body composition, glucolipid metabolism, sleep and eating habits, inflammatory reaction, sedentary behavior and physical activity level will be measured and compared between groups who are doing either aerobic exercise, time restricted fasting, both aerobic exercise and time restricted fasting, or who are in a control group. Adverse reaction, sleep and eating quality, life quality and adherence to the interventions and hunger/satiety will also be measured.
