Brief Summary

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Each participant will be matched to either HIIT or MCEET group based on their one-mile run time. The HIIT group will perform six, 20-second bouts of high-intensity interval exercise separated by 2 minutes of active recovery (walking) while the MCEET group will perform 14 minutes of continuous endurance exercise at 70% of Maximum Heart Rate (MHR). Both exercise protocols will include 3 minutes of warm up and cool down at a 30% MHR, for a total of 20 minutes for each treatment. The first week of the exercise intervention will consist of one-on-one supervised treadmill training, three times per week in the lab. From week two to five, participants will follow the same exercise program on their own at their preferred gym three times per week in order to examine free-living individuals adhere to two exercise programs.
All participants will log their heart rate before, during, and immediately after each training session using a free heart rate monitor mobile App to ensure safety and achievement of their targeted heart rate. Further, they will complete two validated questionnaires \[physical activity enjoyment scale and exercise adherence rating scale\] as well ratings of perceived exertion scale after the 6th, 9th and 15th session. Finally, no attempt will be made to modify the participants daily diet, but a 3-day food log will be collected to assess food intake.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
High Intensity Interval Training
six 20 second bouts of high intensity interval exercise (HIIT) separated by 2 minutes of active recovery with 3 minutes and warm up and cool down on the treadmill, three times per week for five weeks
HIIT
The participant will perform HIIT where they will warm up for 3 minutes at 30% maximum heart rate (MHR), followed by 20 seconds of high intensity interval exercise at an all out intensity separated by 2 minutes of active recovery at 30% MHR. The interval will be repeated six times. Once completing all six intervals, participants will cool down for 3 minutes. This training program will be performed three times per week for five weeks.
MCEET
14 minutes of Moderate Endurance Training with 3 minutes and warm up and cool down on the treadmill, three times per week for five weeks
MCEET
The participant will perform MCEET, where they will warm up for 3 minutes at 30% maximum heart rate (MHR), followed by 14 minutes of moderate, continuous endurance exercise at 70% MHR. Participants will cool down for 3 minutes. This training program will be performed three times per week for five weeks.
