’ basal metabolic rate
OBESE
Harris–Benedict equation—[(10 × weight of men in kilograms) + (6.25 × height of men in centimeters) − (5 × age of men in years) + 5]—was utilized to calculate participants’ basal metabolic rate (BMR) before involving them in the low-calorie-diet protocol. To start the low-calorie diet, the value of BMR was subtracted from 500 kilocalories per day [The LMG received a supervised 40-min on-treadmill walking program. Day after day (3 times weekly), the session was constituted of 3 stages in all obese men with CPP, ED, and MeTS. Warming-up and cooling-down walking stages conducted at 40–50% of men’s maximal heart rate, 5 min for each, were done before and after the main exercise stage (a 30-min walking on the treadmill at 60–70% of men’s maximal heart), respectively.
