Of the 83 women that were assessed for eligibility, 29 women declined to participate and 25 were ineligible (with use of hormonal contraceptives being the most common reason for exclusion). Twenty-nine participants completed the baseline assessments (HIIT = 15, MICT = 14), of whom 24 completed the 12-week intervention (HIIT = 13, MICT = 11). Two participants withdrew during the MICT intervention due to changes in their work schedule and one withdrew due to moving interstate. One participant withdrew from the HIIT intervention due to an injury sustained at work and another became pregnant (Fig. CONSORT trial flow diagram.
