Values are means ± SD; bold P values indicate significance (P ≤ 0.05) from the one-way ANOVA or χ2 test. ACE, adverse childhood experiences; ACE−, ACE− control group; ACE+CON, ACE+ control group; ACE+EXT, ACE+ exercise training group; BMI, body mass index; CRP, C-reactive protein; HR, heart rate; kcal, kilocalories; MET·min/wk, metabolic equivalent minutes per week; PA, physical activity.
*Significantly different to ACE−.
