Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Aerobic exercise
Exercise intervention. The experimental group increased their energy expenditure according to American College of Sports Medicine and WHO-based physical activity recommendations for all adults to promote clinically significant weight loss and for additional health benefits: 300 min of moderate-intensity aerobic training throughout the week (WHO, 2010; Swift et al. 2014). Participants underwent five 60 min moderate-intensity cycling sessions per week for a period of 8 weeks, 40 sessions in total. Each session involved 5 min of warm up at 40 Watts, cycling for 50 min at a speed that increased their HR to a target HR obtained at 50-60% of peak VO2, and a 5 min of cool down at 40 Watts.
Aerobic exercise
8-week aerobic exercise (moderate intensity), 5 times per week, 60 min per session. Exercise training under supervision of trained staff.
Control
. In the control group, participants did not undergo any intervention and were instructed to maintain their regular physical activity and diet regime for 8 weeks.
No interventions assigned to this group
