This study investigated the effects of 10 weeks of crossover point (COP) exercise training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on cardiovascular risk factors and vascular health in overweight young women. Overweight young women were randomized into HIIT and COP groups. Participants in the HIIT group (n = 10; age 22 +/- 2, BMI 25.72 +/- 0.90) and COP group (n = 10, age 21 +/- 2, BMI 25.90 +/- 1.90) took part in 10 weeks of HIIT and COP exercise training, respectively. Cardiorespiratory fitness, cardiovascular health, and oxidative stress indicators were measured before and after the intervention period. After 10 weeks of exercise intervention, both COP exercise and HIIT led to a significant increase in maximal oxygen uptake (p < 0.001). The systolic blood pressure (p = 0.006), diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.006), and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) (p = 0.002) were significantly decreased in both COP group and HIIT group, while serum interleukin 6 (IL-6) levels were increased in HIIT and COP groups. The present study shows that a training program at COP could be an effective strategy to protect vascular health. The study has been registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05817487).
