Autonomous physical activity based program versus aerobic exercise based interventions to improve health and cardiovascular status in sedentary overweight adults: A review

Description

This review aims to identify improvements on health-related variables, produced by autonomous physical activity interventions and reducing sedentary behaviour, compared with improvements produced by interventions of aerobic exercise in sedentary and overweight / obesity. 17 design studies Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) were finally included, with subjects ≥ 18 years and a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 25. The results show similar results in both types of interventions, and the conclusion reached was that there is insufficient evidence of benefits of one type of intervention over another.
