Interventions
High intensity interval training
Patients will engage in high-intensity interval training using heart rate reserve (HRR) to determine exercise intensity. The program includes three sessions per week for 12 weeks, featuring three 3-minute high-intensity intervals at 70-90% HRR, with 2 minutes of active recovery in between. Each 30-minute session will be treadmill-based under supervision, incorporating warm-up and cool-down periods. Participants will also follow a Mediterranean diet.
moderate intensity continuous training
The program will be in form of: * Frequency: 3 sessions/week for 12 weeks. * Intensity: Moderate intensity continues training at 40- 60% HRR. * Duration: the session will last 30 minutes per session. Patients will be instructed to follow Mediterranean Diet.
Mediterranean diet
the composition of the Mediterranean diet, emphasizing that vegetables and fruits make up the largest portion at 35%, followed by whole grains (20%) and fish and seafood (15%). Legumes and nuts account for 10%, while olive oil and dairy products (cheese and yogurt) each contribute 7%. Smaller portions include poultry and eggs (4%) and red meat and sweets (2%), reflecting the diet's focus on plant-based foods, healthy fats, whole grains, and moderate consumption of animal products, with minimal intake of red meat and sugary foods.
