A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the acute effects of two types of exercise, High-Intensity Interval Exercise (HIIE) and Moderate-Intensity Continuous Exercise (MICE), on fat mass loss in young women with overweight or obesity. Participants will engage in isoenergetic exercise sessions while key physiological responses, such as plasma catecholamine levels, will be measured to understand the mechanisms behind fat loss. The study aims to clarify which exercise method is more effective for promoting fat loss and improving overall health outcomes.
