Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Exercise Training	Combined Exercise Training	This group undergone exercise training intervention during 4 weeks.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Reduction in Low Frequency Heart rate variability component (LF)	4 weeks	This reduction is positive, indicating a reduction in sympathetic activity and thus the cardiovascular risk
Increase in High Frequency heart rate variability component (HF)	4 weeks	Means a increase in parasympathetic activity, which is correlated to reduction in cardiovascular risk
