Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
High-intensity interval training will be performed three times a week for a total of six weeks.
Group II: Waitlist ControlPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Waitlist participants were tested on the outcomes at the same time points as the treatment group (i.e., HIIT). Following completion of the waitlist treatment, participants will be eligible to receive a supervised exercise program (no data will be collected). The waitlist participants formed a no-treatment control group.
