The Study of Various Models of Exercise Duration on Weight Loss and Lipid Profile in Sedentary Overweight/Obese Middle-aged Men

Duration of exercise is an important factor among the medical guides for weight loss. However, there is still little knowledge about other its models in middle-aged and older men. The present study aimed to determine the effects of the interval training on weight loss and lipid profile, and to compare its efficiency with the continuous training.
