Note. Males and females were recruited in all studies, with the exception of Sobrero et al. (2017), who recruited only females. HIFT = High-Intensity Functional Training; VO2max = maximum oxygen consumption; SBP = Systolic Blood Pressure; DBP = Diastolic Blood Pressure; BF% = Body Fat Percentage; UBMS = Upper-Body Muscular Strength; LBMS = Lower-Body Muscular Strength; UBME = Upper-Body Muscular Endurance; LBF = Lower-Body Flexibility; NS = Not Significant; - = Not measured; all percent changes are calculated as ([posttest score – pretest score]/pretest score) × 100.
