Values are presented as mean±standard deviation.
Δ score represents the difference in score after 6 weeks from the score before the exercise program.
SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; TC, total cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; LDLC, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDLC, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
