Improvements cardiometabolic risk factors in Latin American Amerindians (the Mapuche) with concurrent training

Our aim was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of CT (ie, high‐intensity interval and resistance training) in Mapuche adults from Chile and in their peers of European descent. In total, 96 hyperglycemic adult women (mean age 46 years [95% confidence interval; 38, 53]) were divided in four groups...

Description
Summary:Our aim was to investigate the effects of 12 weeks of CT (ie, high‐intensity interval and resistance training) in Mapuche adults from Chile and in their peers of European descent. In total, 96 hyperglycemic adult women (mean age 46 years [95% confidence interval; 38, 53]) were divided in four groups: Mapuche CT (Map‐CT, n = 14) or control group (Map‐CG, n = 44), and European CT (Eur‐CT, n = 14) or control group (Eur‐CG, n = 23). The following endpoints were analyzed at baseline and after 12 weeks: anthropometric (body mass, body mass index, waist circumference), body composition (fat mass, muscle mass, lean mass), cardiovascular (systolic [SBP]/diastolic [DBP] blood pressure), metabolic (blood fasting glucose and total cholesterol), and muscle strength (handgrip of dominant/non‐dominant arm). There were significant positive changes in body mass, body fat, and muscle mass (P
