High-protein diet interventions have been shown to be effective in reducing triglycerides and increasing high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. Low-volume, high-intensity cycling exercise has shown to elicit positive effects on metabolic syndrome risk factors such as triglyceride concentrations. The objective of this study was to determine the combined effects of a high-protein, reduced carbohydrate diet and high-intensity interval training on metabolic syndrome risk factors in women. The second primary aim is to investigate the effect of the macronutrient content of the post-exercise meal consumed following an acute bout of interval training on postprandial metabolism.
The objective of this study is to determine the combined effects of a high-protein diet and high-intensity training on metabolic syndrome risk factors in women aged 30-65.
