  1. This table represents the details of exercise protocol. The HIIT protocol incorporated alternating intervals of high and low intensity, determined by VO2max%. Intervals above 80% of VO2max% were designated as high intensity, while those below this threshold were classified as low intensity. This approach ensured a structured and effective exercise regimen for the rats throughout the training period
