BMI, body mass index; HbA1c, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c; VO2max, maximal oxygen consumption; INT, vigorous to maximal aerobic interval training; MICT, moderate-intensity continuous training; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; TG, triglycerides; TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NET, non-exercise training; NA, not applicable.
a
Age data were log-transformed for analysis.
b
Standard mean difference was chosen because of the different measuring scales.
