Abstract

This study compared responses to concurrent exercise consisting of sprint interval training (SIT) and resistance training (RT) on metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk factors in black and white women. Thirty-five women (15 black; 22 white) participated in a 10-week SIT treadmill and RT intervention. Pre- and post-measurements were taken for body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body composition (iDEXA), muscular strength (bench press, back squat), estimated aerobic fitness (Bruce protocol), and a finger prick assessed fasting blood glucose, total triglycerides, and high-density lipoproteins. MetS z score was calculated as a composite risk score. At pretest, black women showed significantly higher lean body mass (p = 0.001), fat mass (p = 0.010), fasting blood glucose (p = 0.013), waist circumference (p = 0.008), weight (p = 0.005), body mass index (p = 0.004), and MetS z score (p = 0.004). A mixed ANOVA showed a significant group-by-time interaction for fat mass (p = 0.035), bench press (p = 0.017), and back squat (p = 0.024). Both groups significantly reduced waist circumference (p
