Participants must meet cardiopulmonary health standards and have no known cardiovascular diseases. To ensure the safety of the study, all participants will undergo a health questionnaire screening and an electrocardiogram (ECG) examination before the start of the experiment to rule out potential cardiac health risks and reduce the possibility of adverse events. Participants must not have severe cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, or diseases that affect physical performance. They must not have severe psychological disorders or mental illnesses. Participants must not have engaged in systematic high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or resistance training (RT) in the past three months. Participants must voluntarily participate, sign an informed consent form, understand the purpose, content, risks, and benefits of the study, and commit to completing all exercise interventions and data collection as planned.
