Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Body composition 3 times (pre-test, post-test 1, post-test 2) Body composition measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis machine (ioi model 353),Blood pressure 3 times (pre-test, post-test 1, post-test 2) blood pressure was measured by autonomic blood pressure mornitor., lipid profile 2 times (pre-test, post-test 1) 3 mL of venous blood samples from an antecubital vein was collected after overnight fast from 8:00, lipid profiles 2 times (pre-test, post-test 1) 3 mL of venous blood samples from an antecubital vein was collected after overnight fast from 8:00 f,Blood pressure 3 times (pre-test, post-test 1, post-test 2) blood pressure was measured by autonomic blood pressure mornitor.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Heart rate and pulse oxygen saturation 3 times (pre-test, post-test 1, post-test 2) Heart rate and pulse oxygen saturation were monitored during hypoxic training by a pulse oximeter.,Lung function 3 times (pre-test, post-test 1, post-test 2) Lung function was assessed using a Vitalograph pneumotrac (Vitalograph, Ireland),Heart rate variability 3 times (pre-test, post-test 1, post-test 2) The measurement analysis of heart rate variability was using a device (SA-3000; Medicore),Muscle endurance (six-minute walk test: 6-MWT) 3 times (pre-test, post-test 1, post-test 2) the six-minute walk test was measured of distance walk over a span of 6 minutes.,Hematological variables 2 times (pre-test, post-test 1) 3 mL of venous blood samples from an antecubital vein was collected for complete blood count.
