Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Walking
WALK. The participants were instructed to walk daily, at first week 12minutes/day, week II 16mins/day, week III 20mins/day, week IV 24 mins/day, week V 28mins/day, week VI 32mins/day at a pace that would moderately increase heart rate and result in sweating
Exercise
Hula-hooping
HULA. The participants were instructed to hula hoop daily, at first week 6minutes/day, week II 8mins/day, week III 10mins/day, week IV 12 mins/day, week V 14mins/day, week VI 16mins/day
