Prior to the experiment, the staff was trained according to the experimental operation manual and held responsible for a limited number of participants. The participants in the two exercise groups were all directed and supervised by relevant staff face to face according to their personal exercise prescriptions. The exercise intensity and volume were monitored using heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and pedometers. The safety of exercise intervention was ensured through pre-exercise health screening and clinical exercise testing. Necessary medical supervision was carried out during exercise testing and exercise intervention to monitor and record the occurrence of sports injuries, diseases, accidents (cardiovascular events, hypoglycemia, and trauma), and other adverse effects. At the test and intervention sites, appropriate exercise and first-aid equipment were prepared, the knowledge and skills to deal with adverse events were provided to staff, and health education of also individuals was conducted to improve the cognition and prevention awareness of adverse events so as to minimize the incidence of adverse events. Once an adverse event occurred during the experiment, the experimental operator operated according to the workflow of the pre-established emergency plan and recorded the specific situation. The doctor or medical institution identified the adverse event. Fortunately, no adverse events occurred during the trial.All data, including drug use, injury, disease, accident, pedometer data, strict attendance, outcomes, and so on, were recorded and collected by these special staff according to the experimental operation manual and kept confidential to ensure the privacy of participants. Then, the original data were entered, sorted out, checked, and kept by specialized data management personnel to ensure the accuracy and safety of the data. The absentee was educated and encouraged to be punctual. At the end of the 12th weekend, the attendance was reviewed. Participants whose attendance was less than 75% (a delay exceeding 30 min was considered as absence) were excluded, and the follow-up tests were also canceled. The participants with optimal attendance were encouraged verbally or through incentives.
