In adults with obesity, doing only aerobic exercise for ten weeks leads to a measurable drop in the lower number of blood pressure readings, without needing strength training.

In adults with obesity, doing both cardio and strength training for ten weeks lowers systolic blood pressure by about 8.8 mmHg, and doing only cardio does not lower it any more than doing both together.

Gentle strength training lowers your blood pressure during workouts more than intense training does, making it safer for people with heart risks.

In adults with obesity, doing both cardio and strength training for ten weeks leads to a measurable increase in muscle strength, while doing only cardio does not produce the same increase.

In adults with obesity, 10 weeks of cardio exercise improves metabolic health markers, and when combined with resistance training, it still improves metabolic health. Resistance training alone increases muscle strength, while cardio alone reduces body weight and fat percentage.

In adults with obesity, doing aerobic exercise for ten weeks without any other changes leads to measurable decreases in body weight, BMI, and body fat percentage.
