Data presented as means ± SD; p values represent the differences between baseline and post-training. VO2peak, peak oxygen consumption, used as a measure of cardiorespiratory fitness; BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; WHR, waist and hip ratio; FM, Fat-mass; FFSTM, fat-free soft tissue mass; VAT, Visceral adipose tissue; SAT, Subcutaneous adipose tissue.
