Furthermore, the long-term follow-up (15 months), the assessment of remission and treatment adherence, and the latest innovative scientific didactic content of this short-duration program are highly relevant in these studies.
We showed that a short duration HICT program could positively improve several physiological health markers in obese males.
It would, therefore, be of great interest to determine the impact of a short duration HICT program on cardiovascular responses, body composition, blood profile, and physical performance.
Moreover, by virtue of its short duration, the program could potentially be utilized for health promotion and the primary prevention of CVD.
A low mean age of participants, high proportions of females participating, short duration of program, and a small group size are likely to increase levels of sustained participation.
One of the relevant findings of the current study attests the efficacy of short duration HICT program in triggering cardiovascular adjustments.
The program assets include its wide implementation possibilities due to low costs, the short duration of the program and the delivery by group care workers, and its suitability for adolescents with MID.
We hypothesize that a well-designed, short duration, concurrent ET program can lead to a reduction in HbA1c as well as improvements in peak VO2, peripheral muscle strength, and cardiovascular risk profile in a T2D cohort.
Limitations of this study arise from the small sample size and the short duration of the program.
The finding that knowledge gain did not lead to habit modification may be explained by the short duration of the program and the complexity that characterizes the conscious or unconscious choices of adults.
