The effects of long-term, moderate intensity, intermittent exercise on aerobic capacity, body composition, blood lipids, insulin and glucose in overweight females

OBJECTIVE: To test the hypotheses that the accumulation of 30 min of moderate intensity, intermittent exercise, 5 d/week−1, for 32 weeks, will increase aerobic capacity, alter body composition and improve blood lipids, insulin and glucose.
