Linear and undulating periodized strength plus aerobic training promote similar benefits and lead to improvement of insulin resistance on obese adolescents

The present study compares the effectiveness of three types of physical training for obesity control in adolescents submitted to a long-term interdisciplinary therapy. Forty-five post-puberty obese adolescents (15–18yo) were randomly placed in three different groups of physical trainings: aerobic training (AT n = 20), aerobic plus strength training with linear periodization (LP n = 13) and aerobic plus strength training with daily undulating...
