Intervention: HIIT Exercise Intervention
Description: The high intensity interval training (HIIT) will be conducted 2 times per week for 6 weeks. The duration of each individual exercise session will last about 45 minutes. After the 5-minute warm-up at 30% peak workload, HIIT will consist of repeated 1-minute high intensity bursts (on interval) alternated with 1-minute interval recovery (off interval) for 25 minutes. The on interval will begin at 80% of peak watts (range: 75%-85%) followed by the off interval at 10% of peak watts. The session will end with up to 10 minute cool-down at 20% peak workload.
