A study published in the Journal of Hypertension suggests that undergoing yearly training programs can improve the heart health of people with metabolic syndrome. In the study, researchers from Spain aimed to determine whether repeated yearly training programs can improve blood pressure and metabolic syndrome.
Overall, the findings suggest that at least two consecutive years of 16-week aerobic interval exercise can chronically improve metabolic syndrome, mediated by blood pressure improvement. On the other hand, being sedentary in three years increases the risk of atherosclerotic diseases risk in metabolic syndrome patients.
