The main goal of this study is to find out how an 8-week circuit training exercise program affects heart health and how the body recovers in young adults who do not regularly exercise. The researchers also want to see if these responses are different between men and women. The body's nervous system controls automatic functions like heart rate. Measuring changes in heart rate patterns-known as heart rate variability (HRV)-helps show how well the body switches between "fight-or-flight" (stress/exercise mode) and "rest-and-digest" (recovery mode). While men and women naturally have different heart rate patterns at rest, less is known about whether they recover differently after a structured exercise program. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Does 8 weeks of circuit training improve heart rate recovery and nervous system balance in inactive young adults? 2. Do men and women show different heart rate responses or recovery patterns after taking part in circuit training? To answer these questions, inactive university students took part in an 8-week supervised circuit…
