Aerobic Exercise

The participants will complete three training sessions per week over 10 weeks. The aerobic training program will last for one hour. The session will include a 10-minute warm-up period, followed by a 45-minute aerobic workout, wherein the participants can choose to use either a treadmill, a cycle ergometer, or a rowing ergometer. After the workout, a five-minute period of stretching will be provided for cooling down. The intensity during the workout will be set at 40%-55% of the individual's maximum heart rate.

OTHER

High Intensity Interval Training

The intervention will be conducted over a period of 10 weeks, while the participants will complete three training sessions per week. The HIIT training program will last for 30 minutes. The session will include a 10-minute warm-up period, followed by a 15-minute HIIT workout, and a 5-minute period of stretching to cool down. The exercises will include repeated, high-intensity intermittent bursts of vigorous activity at maximal effort. The HIIT will mainly include bodyweight exercises (e.g., push-ups, squats, lunges) that disregards equipment usage. The intensity during the workout will be set to 85%-95% of the individual's maximum heart rate. A half-day training workshop will be provided to the personal trainer to ensure that he/she knows the exercises and can demonstrate them to the participants.
