INTERVENTIONS
Intervention type Intervention name Dose Duration Intervention description Group size Nature of control
Control Group low calorie Diet 12 weeks All participants followed a calorie-restricted diet that was moderately low in fat with a recommended macronutrient distribution of 55% carbohydrate, 15% protein, and 30% fat. 30 Active-Treatment of Control Group
Experimental Group low calorie diet and high intensity interval training 3 times/week 12 weeks participants performed a 5 min warm-up period at an intensity corresponding to 65¿75% of heart rate maximum (HRmax) before walking four intervals of 4 min length at 85¿95% of HRmax. The HIIT intervals were interspersed by 3 min periods of walking at 65¿75% of HRmax. Participants ended each session with a 3 min cool down period at 65¿75% of HRmax amounting to a total exercise time of 33 min. 30
