Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Heat therapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be asked to undergo 45 minutes of lower limb hot water immersion (42 degrees C) 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
Group II: Exercise trainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will be asked to undergo 45 minutes of moderate-intensity cycling exercise (~40-59% VO2 reserve) 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
Group III: Combined trainingExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be asked to undergo 90 minutes of moderate-intensity cycling exercise and lower limb hot water immersion sequentially 3 times per week for 8 weeks.
Group IV: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will be asked to maintain their regular physical activity habits for the duration of the 8-week intervention period.
