The prevalence of adverse cardiometabolic responses to exercise training with evidence-based practice is low

Figures & data

Figure 1 Distribution of all cardiometabolic responses for systolic blood pressure (SBP), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride to the evidence-based community exercise program.

Note: Red color represents exercise training-induced ACR.
Abbreviation: ACR, exercise-induced adverse cardiometabolic response.

Table 1 Breakdown of no ACR-risk and ACR-risk for each MetS component and training outcome markers (energy expenditure and change in cardiorespiratory fitness) for each group

MetS component	Group (n)	EE (kcal/kg/wk)	Change CR fitness (%)
Elevated WC	no ACR-risk (152)	18.2±6.3a	9.8±10.8
	ACR-risk (2)	15.5±2.0	5.8±2.1
Elevated BP	no ACR-risk (307)	17.2±5.8	10.5±12.1
	ACR-risk (2)	15.8±9.9	11.4±9.6
Low HDL-C	no ACR-risk (228)	16.6±5.0	9.0±5.3
	ACR-risk (5)	10.2±11.5	8.0±9.0
Elevated TG	no ACR-risk (239)	17.1±5.8	10.3±11.5
	ACR-risk (8)	18.3±4.8	12.6±18.1
IFG	no ACR-risk (177)	17.0±6.6	10.1±10.3
	ACR-risk (5)	16.4±2.2	7.9±4.5

Notes:

a Mean ± standard deviation. ACR-risk: adverse cardiometabolic response who gained a metabolic syndrome component. No ACR-risk: no adverse cardiometabolic response.

Abbreviations: ACR, exercise-induced adverse cardiometabolic response; MetS, metabolic syndrome; EE, energy expenditure; CR, cardiorespiratory; WC, waist circumference; BP, blood pressure; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; IFG, impaired fasting blood glucose.
