Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Resistance combined with cardiovascular training group	Resistance combined with cardiovascular training	Participants in this group will receive the resistance combined with cardiovascular training intervention for up to 6 weeks

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in percentage of participants' mouse click accuracy	Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program	Participants' mouse click accuracy will be measured as a percentage using a web-based program, "Mouse Accuracy"
Change in participants' physical reaction time	Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program	Participants' reaction time will be measured in milliseconds using open-source software "Open-source open-access reaction time test"

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in participants' number of target efficiency	Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program	Change in participants' number of target efficiency will be calculated as number of hits divided by possible targets using "Mouse Accuracy"
Change in participants' clicks per second	Baseline and up to 6 weeks after starting the program	Change in participants' clicks per second will be measured by counting actual mouse clicks per second using "Mouse Accuracy"
