Exercise-Induced Metabolic Compensation; a Physiological Adaptive Response to Exercise Training

"The first phase of the study will comprise two weeks of control phase when participants will not engage in any exercise training but will be monitored for total daily energy expenditure and its components (REE, SMR, and DIT) and assessed volume of metabolic organs and skeletal muscle efficiency.~Next, participants will start the active phase. In the first two weeks, participants will perform 150 - 200 min/week of a moderate intensity exercise so that they can adapt to the new regime and avoid injury. All exercise training will be monitored using heart rate sensor (HR) to track exercise adherence and HR range goals. Changes in daily non-exercise physical activity and sedentary behavior will be assessed for 10 days pre- and post-intervention by a tri-axial accelerometer. All study participants will be instructed to consume their habitual diet and to maintain the same caloric intake."
