The primary aim of this study is to investigate the impact of incorporating shortened resistance bands (SRB) into leggings on cardiovascular responses and caloric expenditure during exercise in young, healthy women. This study will employ a randomized, controlled, and double-blind crossover design involving four types of exercise: walking, climbing, rowing, and cycling. Participants will perform each type of exercise for 10 minutes while wearing either SRB leggings or leggings without SRB, with sessions on separate days and about 3 days apart. The cardiovascular and metabolic responses will be measured during and after the exercise.

Calorie expenditure in kilocalories (kcal)
Timeframe: The oxygen consumption will be monitored during four 10-minute exercises (i.e., rowing, walking, climbing and cycling) and the 10-minute recovery period following the completion of each 10-minute exercise.
Fat oxidation in kilocalories (kcal)
Timeframe: The oxygen consumption and respiratory exchange ratio will be monitored during four 10-minute exercises (i.e., rowing, walking, climbing and cycling) and the 10-minute recovery period following the completion of each 10-minute exercise.
