Change in MetS z-score (panel A) and the individual components of MetS z-score (panels B–F) in previously sedentary adults who either detrained (DETRAIN; red bars, solid line), or trained (TRAIN; blue bars, dotted lines). Please note that baseline is not included in statistical analysis but included to indicate the change in the variable with the exercise training program. Data displayed as mean ± S.E.M, * p < 0.05 comparison between groups, ^¥ p < 0.05 compared with “end” time point DETRAIN group. MetS: metabolic syndrome; BG: fasting blood glucose; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; TG: triglycerides; MAP: mean arterial pressure.
