VCAM-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule 1; ICAM-1, intercellular adhesion molecule 1; ns, no significance when compared to the data before intervention in the matched group.  ^∗P < 0.05 when compared to the data before intervention in the exercise group.  ^#P < 0.05 when compared to the data after intervention in the matched group.
