Note. No significance differences were found between intervention conditions. Five significant gender effects were found. Woman were older (p<.001), had higher exercise norms (p=.002), lower resting SBP (p=.003), lower VO2max (p<.001), and reported less voluntary moderate-intensity physical activity (p=.02) than men.

For descriptive purposes, the individual self-report physical activity items are included in this table; however, analyses are only conducted on the standardized combined measure.
