Effect of adding high-intensity interval training to diet and carboxytherapy on metabolic cardiovascular risk factors in women with metabolic syndrome.

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome has traditionally been associated with cardiovascular diseases and has recently been linked to increased susceptibility to COVID-19 infection, thus highlighting the need for multimodal interventions to optimize management of this condition.

Aim: To assess the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) alongside a low-fat diet and carboxytherapy on metabolic syndrome features.

Material And Methods: Sixty women (50-60 years old) diagnosed with metabolic syndrome were assigned to a 4-week intervention of either HIIT in combination with a low-fat diet and carboxytherapy (experimental group: = 30, age = 54.
