Morales–Palomo F, et al. – This study investigated if repeated yearly training programs consolidate the transient blood pressure (BP) improvements of one exercise program into durable adaptations. In order to bring about chronic improvement in metabolic syndrome (MetS) (Z–score), at least two consecutive years of 4–month aerobic interval training were required. BP mediated the chronic influence and did not completely returned to pre–training values allowing a cumulative improvement. Additionally, predicted atherosclerotic diseases risk in MetS patients was found to be increased as a result of sedentarism during 3 years.
