      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention Group 1: Two exercise sessions per week + caloric restriction (a daily deficit of 360 kcal). In addition, each exercise session will involve an energy expenditure of approximately 500 kcal. Participants in this group will engage in designated exercise two days a week, consuming 500 calories per exercise session, and the diet set for these individuals will be 360 ​​calories less than their usual daily intake, so that the total calorie intake through diet and two sessions of exercise per week will be equivalent to 3,500 calories per week. A total of 8 weeks have been planned for this intervention. Exercise activity in each session includes warm-up and aerobic activity (treadmill) and resistance activity (chest press, lat pull-ups, military press, leg extension, leg press, crunches) and cool-down. The intensity of the exercises increases from 60% of one repetition maximum in the first week to 80% of one repetition maximum in the eighth week. Intervention 2: Intervention Group 2: Three exercise sessions per week + caloric restriction (a daily deficit of 285kcal). In addition, each exercise session will involve an energy expenditure of approximately 500 kcal. Participants in this group will engage in designated exercise three days a week, consuming 500 calories per exercise session, and the diet set for these individuals will be 285 ​​calories less than their usual daily intake, so that the total calorie intake through diet and three sessions of exercise per week will be equivalent to 3,500 calories per week. A total of 8 weeks have been planned for this intervention. Exercise activity in each session includes warm-up and aerobic activity (treadmill) and resistance activity (chest press, lat pull-ups, military press, leg extension, leg press, crunches) and cool-down. The intensity of the exercises increases from 60% of one repetition maximum in the first week to 80% of one repetition maximum in the eighth week. Intervention 3: Intervention Group 3: Four exercise sessions per week + caloric restriction (a daily deficit of 215kcal). In addition, each exercise session will involve an energy expenditure of approximately 500 kcal. Participants in this group will engage in designated exercise four days a week, consuming 500 calories per exercise session, and the diet set for these individuals will be 215 ​​calories less than their usual daily intake, so that the total calorie intake through diet and four sessions of exercise per week will be equivalent to 3,500 calories per week. A total of 8 weeks have been planned for this intervention. Exercise activity in each session includes warm-up and aerobic activity (treadmill) and resistance activity (chest press, lat pull-ups, military press, leg extension, leg press, crunches) and cool-down. The intensity of the exercises increases from 60% of one repetition maximum in the first week to 80% of one repetition maximum in the eighth week. Intervention 4: Control Group: Caloric restriction only (a daily dietary caloric deficit of 500 kcal). Participants in this group do not participate in any exercise activities and the diet adjusted for these people will be 500 calories less than their usual daily intake, so that the total calorie restriction through the diet is equivalent to 3500 calories per week. A total of 8 weeks are planned to conduct this intervention.</i_freetext>
