Abstract

One of the most common risk factors associated with sedentary lifestyles is overweight and obesity. Currently, companies’ programs to reduce sedentary behaviors focus on increasing physical activity and exercise.  Among the most popular programs today are high-intensity interval training and moderate-intensity continuous training. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects on body composition, blood pressure, and parameters of glucose, cholesterol, and triglycerides, of an exercise protocol that combined high-intensity interval training with moderate-intensity continuous training.  The study involved 98 participants, 26 men and 72 women, divided into two groups: a control group of 10 men and 25 women (n=35), who did not perform any physical exercise and only participated in the initial and final tests and a focal group of 16 men and 47 women (n=63). An eight-week exercise program, three times per week, combining high-intensity interval training with moderate-intensity continuous training, in university administrative staff, significantly decreased total body weight, body mass index, and systolic blood pressure without changes in the parameters of glycemic, triglycerides, and cholesterol.
