The gray area represents the results of the network meta-analysis, and the white area represents the results of the pairwise meta-analysis. The bold values represent statistical significance at a level of p < 0.05. Estimates are shown as columns versus rows for network meta-analysis and rows versus columns for pairwise meta-analysis. The results are presented as mean difference (MD). N, number of studies in the comparison; NA, not available; AE-M, moderate-intensity aerobic exercise; AE-HI, high-intensity aerobic exercise; RT-M, moderate-intensity resistance exercise; RT-HI, high-intensity resistance exercise; COM-M, moderate-intensity combined exercise; COM-HI, high-intensity combined exercise; CON, blank controls.
