Summary

This study compares two exercise programs in college students: high-intensity functional training (HIFT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT). The goal is to see which approach better improves body composition, physical fitness, and blood vessel health compared to no exercise. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups and will follow their program for eight weeks, with measurements taken before and after to track changes.
