Variables that exhibited no statistically significant differential effect between the three exercise prescriptions with exercise training and training cessation

Variable	Before Training	16–24 h After Training	15 Days After Training
Fasting insulin, μU/ml	9.3±0.5	7.8±0.4*	9.0±0.4
Fasting glucose, mg/dl	93.5±0.7	94.0±0.8	93.7±0.9
HOMA-IR	2.1±0.1	1.9±0.1*	2.1±0.1
Body mass, kg	87.2±1.1	86.1±1.1*	85.8±1.1†
TTE, s	783.3±16.2	927.0±18.3*	870.6±18.0†

Data are expressed as means ± SE. HOMA-IR, homeostasis model of insulin resistance; TTE, time to exhaustion during maximal exercise stress test.

^*Significantly different (P < 0.05) from other time points;

^†significantly different (P < 0.05) from before training.
