According to the literature review, the frequency of brisk walking training in this experiment was scheduled for two times/week, with a total training duration of 8 weeks. Each training session was changed within two weeks. It ranged from 60 minutes in the first and second week to 90 minutes in the eighth week of the seventh week.
