Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Combined aerobic and resistance exercise training in people living with obesity-related diabetes and cardiovascular will:<br>1. increase (improve) VO2peak [Each measurement will be taken when the pre-study begins, at a 2 months interval and post completion (after 6 months)];Combined aerobic and resistance exercise training in people living with obesity-related diabetes and cardiovascular will:<br>2. decrease (improve) HbA1c.[Each measurement will be taken when the pre-study begins, at a 2 months interval and post completion (after 6 months)]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Combined aerobic and resistance exercise training in people living with obesity-related diabetes and cardiovascular will improve:<br>1. musculoskeletal strength and endurance<br>2. functional capacity, improve quality of life (QoL)<br>3. blood pressure<br>4. lipid profile<br>5. flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery.[All the experimental measures taken when the pre-study begins at baseline, at a 2 months interval and post completion (after 6 months).]
