Values are mean ± SEM. P values for group × time interaction are based on 3 × 2 ANOVA with repeated measures.

P<0.05 vs. pre-intervention are based on multiple pairwise comparisons adjusted by Bonferroni correction.

CONT, non-exercise controls; MICT, moderate-intensity continuous training; HIIT, high-intensity interval training; cfPWV, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity; C, compliance; IMT, intima-media thickness; lumen; diameter.
