Values are presented as mean ± SD, mean and 95% confidence interval (lower CI, upper CI) for the change from pre- to post-training of triglycerides, cholesterol, systolic blood pressure (Systolic BP) and diastolic blood pressure (Diastolic BP). The p-values and effect sizes (ES) between the initial (pre-training) and final (post-training) moments are presented. To convert triglycerides to mmol/L divide by 88.57. To convert cholesterol to mmol/L divide by 38.67.
