Interventions

OTHER

Intermittent fasting diet group

Fasting for 14 hours and eating window for 10 hours (1400 kcal) as prescribed by nutrition specialist. Intermittent fasting is an approach of eating that focuses on when you eat rather than on what you eat. * During fasting hours (fasting window) the participants are allowed to drink water, tea, coffee and drinks without sugar. * During eating hours (eating window) the participants will follow 1400 kcal diet. * The diet targets recommended with respect to high intake of vegetables (3-4 serve daily), fruits (1-2 serve daily), fish, lean meats and poultry (3-4 serve daily), fat free and low fat dairy products (2-3 serve daily), and legumes, nuts and seeds (4-5 serves per week), carbohydrates (3-4 serve daily).

OTHER

High intensity interval training

All participants will receive High intensity interval training program in the form of walking on the electronic treadmill for 40 min through 3 phases: Warm-up phase: included walking on the treadmill with light intensity (50% of maximal heart rate (MHR)) for 10 min, Actual phase: included walking on the treadmill with high intensity intervals (80-85% of MHR) repeated for 4 times, with 3-min active recovery at (70% of MHR) between intervals then Cool-downs phase: included walking on the treadmill with light intensity (50% of MHR) for 5 min for 12 weeks.
