CrossFit Exercise to Improve Glucose Control for Overweight and Obese Adults

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Hyperglycemia

In brief

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in glucose control, fitness, and body composition between a standard aerobic and resistance exercise training program and a shorter-duration, high-intensity CrossFit training program in overweight and obese physically inactive adults. Hypotheses: 1. Both groups would improve glucose control, with the CrossFit group improving significantly more than the aerobic and resistance training group. 2. Both groups would improve fitness, with the CrossFit group improving significantly more than the aerobic and resistance training group. 3. Both groups would demonstrate decreases in body fat percentage and fat mass and increases in lean body mass, with the CrossFit group improving significantly more than the aerobic and resistance training group.
