| interval training | Experimental | Aerobic interval training. It consisted of a modified interval cycle ergometer training program (3 days a week for 8 weeks). AIT consisted of 8 min warm up, followed by four times of 4-min intervals with HR at 80% of submaximal predetermined HR, with active phases of 3 min of cycling at 60% of submaximal predetermined HR. The exercise session was terminated by 5 min cool down |

| Central arterial stiffness measurements (Pulse Wave Velocity [PWV], augmentation index ) | Pulse wave analysis (PWA) of the women in the two groups: pre and post treatment for pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index(AIx) Pulse Wave Velocity [PWV], augmentation index (AIx @75HR) and resting heart rate were measured using analysis equipment which called Non-invasive blood pressure measurement system using "Mobil-O-Graph 24h PWA " with Hypertension Management Software Client Server (HMS-CS 4.3). PWA was performed using an oscillometric Mobil-O-Graph R 24 h PWA Monitor device (I.E.M GmbH, Germany) with integrated ARCSolver® software | two months |

| blood lipid profile | blood analysis will be used to measure lipid profile (high and low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol, triglyceride) | two months |
| interleukin 6 | blood analysis will be used to measure interleukin 6 |
