Bold value indicates that the longitudinal intervention has a more significant reduction impact than the horizontal intervention.

AE, aerobic exercise; AE(M), moderate-intensity AE; HIIT, high-intensity interval training; MV, moderate to vigorous intensity; RT, resistance training; V, vigorous-intensity; WBVT, whole-body vibration training.
