The Claim
In adults with overweight or obesity, a combined intervention of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise and 30 minutes of resistance training three times per week for one year improves the composite cardiovascular risk profile to a similar extent as 60 minutes of aerobic exercise alone, with no statistically significant difference between the two interventions.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
For adults with overweight or obesity, doing 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training three times a week for a year has the same effect on overall cardiovascular risk as doing 60 minutes of cardio alone.
See the scientific wording
In adults with overweight or obesity, combining 30 minutes of aerobic exercise with 30 minutes of resistance training three times per week for one year improves composite cardiovascular risk profile to a similar degree as 60 minutes of aerobic exercise alone, with no statistically significant difference between the two interventions.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that doing 30 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of strength training three times a week works just as well for improving heart health as doing 60 minutes of cardio alone — so mixing both types of exercise is just as good as doing only cardio.
