The influence of concurrent training intensity on serum irisin and abdominal fat in postmenopausal women.

Introduction: Menopause seems to be among the factors related to the development of prediabetes and central obesity. Conversely, physical activity may have a major role in reducing metabolic syndrome in women of postmenopausal age.

Material And Methods: Forty-eight postmenopausal active and sedentary women within the ages of 45-65 years were randomized to four groups: 1) high-intensity concurrent interval exercise (HCI; = 15), 2) moderate-intensity continuous concurrent exercise (MCC; = 14), 3) control daily active (CDA; = 10), and 4) control sedentary (COS; = 9).
