Moderate intensity aerobic exercise

Participants in the MIAE group engaged in a 40-minute supervised session using the StepOne-SCIFIT recumbent stepper machine. The session included a 5-minute warm-up at 25 watts, followed by 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, main-taining a stepping rate of 90-100 steps per minute. The workload was adjusted to keep the participant's heart rate within the target heart rate range (THRR), calculated using the Karvonen formula. During the first three weeks, the exercise intensity was set at 50-59% of heart rate reserve (HRR), and for the remaining three weeks, it was increased to 60-69% of HRR. Polar heart rate monitors were used to assess heart rate before and after each session. Participants kept weekly exercise logs to monitor compliance.
