Interventions

Aerobic exercise:The aerobic exercise group first underwent peak oxygen uptake testing. Following the test, participants performed single-session exercises at intensities of 40%-50%, 50%-60%, 60%-70%,
Resistance exercise:The resistance training group first underwent 1RM tests for squats, deadlifts, and bench presses. Following the tests, participants performed single-repetition exercises at 40%-50%
Combined exercise:The exercise regimen for the aerobic and resistance training groups involved performing 30 minutes of resistance training followed by 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, three times per
Control group:The control group maintained their original lifestyle and dietary habits without any exercise intervention.
