Table 1.
The anthropometric data and performance results of the entrance examination and endurance exercise of EET and SED individuals. Shown are mean ± SD and in parentheses the 1. quartile, median, and the 3. quartile. ∗∗∗ p < 0.001 indicates significant differences between endurance-exercise-trained (EET) athletes and untrained/sedentary (SED) individuals.
