C, control group; TR, training group (40 weeks); TRD, training (20 weeks)—detraining (20 weeks) group; CINT, circuit integrated neuromuscular training; RMR, resting metabolic rate; ¹for all groups (4-week adaptation period); ²only for TR and TRD; ³for all groups; ⁴acute metabolic measurements for TR and TRD (1 session per participant in each training phase: perceived exertion and heart rate measurement during the exercise session, oxygen consumption and blood lactate concentration before, during and after a session and excess post-exercise oxygen consumption after a session).
