Sprint interval training will be given for 4 weeks. Each week consisted of three training sessions, separated by at least one resting day. Participants will complete a 15-minutes warm up before training session. The Sprint interval training group consisted of 30 s sprints at near maximal effort, with three minutes of rest between each sprint. The training intensity of Sprint interval training sessions was evaluated subjectively during sessions. During the first week, the Sprint interval training group performed five sprints per session. The number of sprints then increased gradually, until a total of 10 sprints per session. When the number of sprints reached seven, subjects were given six minutes of rest midway through the training session
