Study 1 was a meta-analysis and systematic review. Study 2 investigated the association between cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) measurements, cardiometabolic risk factors and inflammatory markers. Study 3 investigated the effect of the 90 s `Gear` exercise programme repeated at different times in the day (GEP-DT) and 18 min `Gear` exercise programme repeated at one point in time (GEP-OT) on cardiometabolic risk factors. Study 4 investigated the effect of the `Gear` exercise programmes on markers of inflammation and CRF. Why did I do it?
