A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted on outcomes including body composition and cardiometabolic health markers, to compare the effect of combining IF with exercise against IF alone. The certainty of the evidence was evaluated using the GRADE approach, while the quality of the included studies was assessed using the revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool and the TESTEX scale.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Result<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>In total, twelve studies including 616 participants (Age: 40\u2009\u00b1\u20099\u00a0years; BMI: 33.6\u2009\u00b1\u20094.8\u00a0kg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>; 87.3% female) were included in this systematic review and meta-analysis. The combined intervention was more effective, leading to greater reductions in fat mass (-0.93\u00a0kg [95% CI: -1.69, -0.18]) and waist circumference (-2.51\u00a0cm [95% CI: -3.70, -1.32]) when compared to IF alone. Cardiometabolic health parameters also showed greater improvements, with decreased insulin (-3.1uIU\/ml [95%CI: -4.25; -1.95]), HOMA-IR (-0.57 [95%CI: -0.83; -0.31]), LDL (-10.67\u00a0mg\/dl [95%CI: -20; -1.35]), resting heart rate (-2.68\u00a0bpm [95%CI: -4.71; -0.64]), along with enhanced cardiorespiratory fitness (VO<jats:sub>2 max<\/jats:sub>:1.92\u00a0ml\/kg\/min [95%CI: 0.32; 3.52]).
