Strength training
a strength training regime of 4 series with 5 repetitions each, at approximately 90% of 1 repetition maximum (RM), in a leg press apparatus to develop maximal strength mainly from neural adaptation with minimal weight gain due to muscular hypertrophy.
continuous moderate-intensity aerobic training
The moderate-intensity group walked continuously for 47 min at 60-70% of maximum heart rate (HRmax) to ensure that the training protocols were isocaloric.
high-intensity interval aerobic training
High-intensity training consisted of a 10 min warm-up period at 50-60% of HRmax \[maximal HR (heart rate)\], followed by 4×4-min intervals at 85-95% of HRmax with 3 min active breaks in between the intervals, consisting of walking or jogging at 50-60% of HRmax. The exercise session was terminated by a 5 min cool-down period.
