Is aerobic combined with resistance training a more suitable exercise program for obese college students? Evidence-based on subjective reports and objective measurements.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to investigate the exercise programs that are more suitable for obese college students. Methods: A randomized controlled experimental design was used to randomly divide 57 obese college students into Baduanjin combined resistance training group (BRTG, n = 19), resistance training group (RTG, n = 19), and control group (CG, n = 19). Results: 1) After an 8-week intervention, BMI, PBF, and VFI of BRTG and RTG significantly decreased, while MM significantly increased; Meanwhile, PBF and MM of BRTG were significantly lower than that of RTG. 2) The SDNN, RMSSD, and HFnorm of BRTG and RTG were significantly increased after intervention, and LFnorm and LF/HF of BRTG and RTG were significantly decreased; Meanwhile, LFnorm and LF/HF of BRTG were significantly lower than RTG, while HFnorm was significantly higher than RTG. 3) The TC, TG, and LDL-C of BRTG and RTG were significantly decreased, while HDL-C was significantly increased after intervention. 4) Compared with single resistance training, Baduanjin combined with resistance training intervention is more conducive to enhancing the subjective exercise experience and compliance of obese college students. Conclusion: Moderate-intensity aerobic combined with resistance training is a more suitable exercise program for obese college students and has greater application potential in health promotion.
