Effects of exercise intervention by group

Supervised exercise group (n=15) Voluntary exercise group (n=14) ΔS vs. ΔV
ΔS (after intervention - baseline) p-valuea) Effect size ΔV(after intervention-baseline) p-valuea) Effect size p-valueb)
mean±SD mean±SD
ΔS: value of the difference between after and before intervention in Supervised exercise group.
ΔV: value of the difference between after and before intervention in Voluntary exercise group.
SD: standard deviation, VO2max: maximum oxygen uptake, KET: knee extensor torque, TC: total cholesterol, LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, HDL-C: high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, TG: triglyceride, Cr: creatinine, UA: uric acid, FPG: fasting plasma glucose, HMW-ADP: high molecular weight adiponectin, dROM: reactive oxygen metabolites, BAP: biological anti-oxident potential, BDI-II: Beck depression inventory-II, POMS: profile of mood states,VAS: visual analogue scale.
Effect size means Cohen’s d value. The thresholds for small, medium, and large effects were defined as d value s below 0.20, 0.50, and 0.80.
