Brief Summary

The growing prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in the worldwide is becoming a serious health problem and economic burden. MetS has become a crucial risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The rising rates of CVD and diabetes, which are the two leading causes of death. To prevent the progression of MetS to diabetes and CVD, regular physical activity is required. Elliptical trainer device is a relatively new modality of exercise and is advertised to be superior to a treadmill because of the low joint impact and the more reasonable costs of an elliptical trainer compared to a treadmill. Additional quantitative research is needed to further evaluate the effectiveness of elliptical trainers and the physiological and perceptual responses to the machine.

    high density lipoprotein is one of lipid profile indicators

    It will be measured after 16 weeks of training

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Systolic blood pressure

    It will be measured after 16 weeks of training

  • diastolic blood pressure

    It will be measured after 16 weeks of training

  • Fasting blood glucose

    It will be measured after 16 weeks of training

  • Insulin

    It will be measured after 16 weeks of training

  • The HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance

    It will be measured after 16 weeks of training

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

group A

EXPERIMENTAL

patients (n=30) in this group will receive 16 weeks of elliptical training on elliptical trainer, 3 times per week. the training will start with 5 minutes warming up at 50 % of maximal heart rate (MHR), 20-minute continuous ET at 70% of MHR, 12 minutes (4×3) intervals at 90% of MHR with a 3-minute active recovery at 70% of MHR between intervals, and finally 5-minute cool-down period at 50% of MHR

Behavioral: exercise training on elliptical device

Group B (control group)

OTHER

patients (n=30) in this group will receive general advises on maintaining physical activities

Behavioral: group B (control group)

Interventions

This group (n=30) will receive aerobic training on an elliptical trainer for 16 weeks (3 sessions per week). The session will start with 5 minutes warming up at 50 % of maximal heart rate (MHR), 20-minute continuous ET at 70% of MHR, 12 minutes (4×3) intervals at 90% of MHR with a 3-minute active recovery at 70% of MHR between intervals, and finally 5-minute cool-down period at 50% of MHR

Also known as: group A
group A

this group will receive general advises on maintaining physical activities for 16 weeks without any additional supervised training

Group B (control group)
