Values are mean ± SD. FMD, flow-mediated dilation; NMTC, normotensive matched time-control; PHET, prehypertensive endurance training; PHRT, prehypertensive resistance training; PHTC, prehyppertensive time-control. Significance values are reported from between group and between timepoint repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey’s post hoc analysis
