This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a 10-week supervised high-intensity interval training program can improve heart health, muscle strength, body composition, and blood sugar control in adults aged 18–55 who are overweight or have obesity. The program uses bodyweight exercises performed at high intensity with rest breaks in between, and requires no special equipment. Researchers want to see if this time-efficient workout approach can help people feel stronger, fitter, and healthier.
Being overweight or having obesity is linked to lower fitness levels, poor metabolic health, and higher risk of chronic diseases. While regular exercise is known to help, finding a workout program that is effective, time-efficient, and accessible for people with excess body weight has been challenging. This trial aims to test whether this particular type of training can deliver real health benefits.

If you join the exercise group, you will attend 2 to 3 supervised training sessions per week for 10 weeks at the study location. Each session lasts about 30–45 minutes and includes a warm-up followed by 8–12 full-body exercises performed at high intensity for 20–60 seconds, with rest periods in between. Your heart rate and effort level will be monitored, and exercises will gradually become more challenging as you progress. Before and after the 10 weeks, you will have appointments to measure your fitness (including a treadmill test), body composition, and blood work. If you are in the control group, you will maintain your normal routine but complete the same measurements at the beginning and end.
