"The exercise intervention program consisted of two distinct periods. During period 1, subjects participated in a moderate to vigorous intensity exercise program for 40 minutes a day, 4 days a week. The exercise program was conducted in Tabata format targeting 70% of the maximum heart rate. Recovery was then induced for 1 minute and 30 seconds, allowing the heart rate to return to resting levels. The exercise routine primarily consisted of full-body exercises, functional training, and power exercises.~During period 2, a low-intensity static exercise program was implemented. Similar to period 1, the subjects exercised for 40 minutes a day, 4 days a week. The exercise program included static exercises. The maximum heart rate was maintained below 50%. The detailed exercise program consisted of stretching movements and balance movements."
