Notes:
Data are presented as mean ± SD. Different superscript letters (a, b) indicate significant difference between groups at p < 0.05.
*
The intervention efficacy between pre- and post-intervention within the same group was statistically significant at a significance level of p < 0.05. BMI, body mass index.
