Interventions
| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | High intensity Interval Training | HIIT protocol consisted of 10 one-minute intervals of high-intensity work (i.e., \> 90% HRmax) interspersed with nine one-minute intervals of self-paced active recovery (19-minutes total). |
| OTHER | Moderate Intensity Continuous Training | The MICT protocol consisted of 30-minutes of moderate intensity cycling (i.e., 64 - 76% HRmax). |
