Over 12 weeks, participants trained five sessions per week with progressively increasing intensity, energy intake calculated from resting metabolic rate and physical activity energy expenditure (2000-2700 kcal for men, 1600-2400 kcal for women), and monitored by heart rate bracelets.
Ethical approval was obtained and the study adhered to the Helsinki Declaration.
