INTRODUCTION: Overweight and obesity in reproductive-aged women is a global problem due to the increased risk of subfertility, pregnancy complications and cardiometabolic diseases. High-intensity interval training and time-restricted eating are two primary lifestyle interventions that, independently, have positive effects on a range of health outcomes. Whether these two strategies have synergistic effects is currently unknown. Our primary aim is to determine the isolated and combined effect of high-intensity interval training and time-restricted eating on glycaemic control in reproductive-aged women with overweight/obesity. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: The study is a randomised controlled trial with four parallel groups. Women (N=120) aged 18-45 years with body mass index ≥27 kg/m ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: The Regional Committee Medical Research Ethics, Norway has approved the trial protocol. This study will provide important new knowledge to both the scientific community and the general population about the isolated and combined effects of two novel diet-exercise strategies on cardiovascular and metabolic health among women with overweight/obesity. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT04019860.
