Aerobic exercise
"Warm-up (5 minutes): Started with a 5-minute warm-up on the stationary bike at a low intensity to prepare the muscles for the workout.~Interval Training (15 minutes): Alternated between 1 minute of high-intensity cycling (pedaling at a faster pace with higher resistance) and 2 minutes of moderate-intensity cycling (steady pace with moderate resistance). This interval was repeated for a total of 15 minutes.~Hill Climbing (10 minutes): The resistance was increased on the stationary bike to simulate climbing a hill. Pedal at a slower pace but with higher resistance for 10 minutes to engage the muscles of legs and core.~Cool Down (5 minutes): The stationary cycling session was finished with a 5-minute cool down at a low intensity to gradually lower the heart rate and avoid fatigue."
electronic cupping therapy in addition to aerobic exercise
Four devices of electronic cupping therapy were equipped with 3.5-inch diameter cups (Becommend, model number: BE007, ASIN: B09PVF72RJ, China).
interferential therapy in addition to aerobic exercise
interferential current (Endomed 482, SN/29.382, Netherlands) was delivered by the following parameters: a carrier frequency of 5-kHz, a beat frequency of 80-160 Hz, and an intensity level below 33 mA. Four carbon rubber electrodes (8x12 cm) were used and fixed by a large abdominal strap with a wet spongy
