Long-term Adaptations of Skeletal Muscle After Hybrid Training

Long-term Adaptations of Skeletal Muscle in Overweight and Obese Individuals After Hybrid Training

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Obesity is a major challenge for public health and renders it imperative to reduce its prevalence. High intensity interval training (HIIT) is a form of exercise training that can efficiently induce weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity, even in the absence of dietary intake manipulation. Hybrid type training represents a form of HIIT, that incorporates both cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal stimuli, by combining multiple types of exercise into a circuit-type, interval style workout. Recent evidence suggests that long-term participation in hybrid HIIT results in significant health-related benefits. However, the molecular mechanisms driving the chronic effects of hybrid HIIT on cardiometabolic and musculoskeletal health remains to be elucidated.
