Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Control Group  The control group will have overweight individuals and does not receive any exercise intervention  
Intervention  High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)  The HIIT group will receive exercises at RPE Borg scale 13-14 for week 1-4 and at RPE Borg Scale 14-17 for week 5-8. Exercise will be given 3 session per week for 8 weeks (total 24 sessions) under supervision. Each session will last for 20-30 mins, beginning with 5-10 mins warm-up and cool-down. 
Intervention  Moderate Intensity Continuous Training (MICT)  The MICT group will receive exercises at RPE Borg scale 11-14 for week 1-8 at Continuous pace.Exercise will be given 3 session per week for 8 weeks (total 24 sessions) under supervision. Each session will last for 20-30 mins, beginning with 5-10 mins warm-up and cool-down.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1.EEG recordings used to analyze the frequency of brain waves that corresponds to Attention, memory, stress, anxiety and information processing.
2.Trial making Test (TMT-A and TMT-B) used to assess executive function and attentional abilities. Part A of TMT evaluates the information processing speed while Part B assess cognitive flexibility or switching. In part A the task consist in connecting numbers (from 1 to 25) with straight line as fast as possible. In Part B, participants had to alternate between letters in alphabetical order and numbers in ascending order (1-A-2-B-3-C, etc.) as fast as possible.
3. The Stroop Test assesses selective attention and inhibition.
4. Digit Span test (forward and backwards) used to measure working memory, attention and overall intelligence.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Background and Aim- High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Moderate Intensity Continuous Training (MICT) has proven effective in improving the cognitive (Attention, memory) and psychological (Stress, Anxiety, Depression) parameters in overweight college students. Therefore  the study aims to compare between these two exercise interventions and amongst them which has been more beneficial in improving  attention, Memory, Stress, Anxiety and Depression .

Methodology- It will be a Prospective Randomized Control Trial including Overweight College students (Age 18-24 and BMI 25-29.9 kg/m2; both males and females). The participants will be screened by Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale and those with score 26 or above will be included in the study. 48 overweight college students were randomly divided into 3 group. Group 1 (MICT)- will receive moderate intensity continuous training at rate of perceived exertion (RPE) Borg Scale 11-14 . Group 2 (HIIT) -will receive High Intensity Interval Training  at RPE Borg scale 13-14 from week 1-4 and 15-17 for week 5-8. Group 3 (Control)- will not receive any intervention . Exercise will be done under supervision.

Result- Will be reported for all the outcome measures at Baseline and post intervention at the 8th week. Statistical analysis using SPSS software to compare the changes between the two groups and changes within the groups.
