Notes:
*
Significant difference (P < 0.05) between pre and post. Pre represents baseline values, post represents values after the 16-weeks intervention period. Pre and Post figures are shown as means ± standard deviations.
Abbreviations: ES, effect size; T, trivial; S, small; L, large; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; WC, waist circumference; MBP, mean blood pressure; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure.
