Aortic SBP (mmHg)	110±5	111±4	106±2	107±3	116±3	114±4	0.5
Aortic DBP (mmHg)	69±2	70±2	69±2	69±2	71±2	71±1	0.4
Aortic PP (mmHg)	42±4	41±4	37±2	38±4	45±3	44±3	0.5

Brachial DBP (mmHg)	68±2	69±2	69±2	69±2	70±1	70±1	0.8
Brachial PP (mmHg)	48±4	48±5	44±2	43±3	52±3	50±3	0.7
Heart rate (beats/min)	63±3	64±2	60±1	61±1	63±1	63±2	0.8

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

CONT, non-exercise controls; MICT, moderate-intensity continuous training; HIIT, high-intensity interval training; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; PP, pulse pressure.
