Swim training improves basal metabolic parameters. Swim training prevented HFD-induced body weight gain (a) and decreased blood glucose level (c); the energy expenditure in term of O₂ consumption (b) was enhanced in the context of food intake (d) not changed significantly in HFD + swim group than in HFD + sedentary group. Data are shown as mean ± SEM (n = 4–6/group). ^∗P < 0.05 and ^∗∗P < 0.01.
