Characterization of groups after intervention.
| NS-S (n = 14–12) | NS-T (n = 13–11) | LS-S (n = 13–11) | LS-T (n = 13–11) | p | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Body Mass (g) | 26 ± 3 | 26 ± 2 | 29 ± 5 | 27 ± 2 | Diet |
| TC * (mg/dL) | 271 ± 103 | 304 ± 91 | 254 ± 96 | 292 ± 83 | - |
| TG * (mg/dL) | 101 ± 9 | 100 ± 27 | 152 ± 36 | 130 ± 51 | Diet |
| Glucose (mg/dL) | 100 ± 15 | 115 ± 20 | 115 ± 20 | 124 ± 22 | Diet Exercise |
| Hematocrit (%) | 48 ± 3 | 50 ± 3 | 50 ± 3 | 51 ± 5 | - |
| SBP (mmHg) | 106 ± 6 | 106 ± 6 | 105 ± 8 | 102 ± 5 | - |
| DBP (mmHg) | 46 ± 8 | 49 ± 14 | 44 ± 9 | 46 ± 11 | - |
| HR (bpm) | 531 ± 60 | 531 ± 46 | 535 ± 61 | 530 ± 63 | - |
Data presented as mean ± SD. Results compared by 2-way ANOVA (GLM; fixed factor: diet and exercise). “Diet” = p < 0.05 for NS vs. LS; “Exercise” = p < 0.05 for S vs. T. NS = normal-sodium diet; LS = low-sodium diet; S = sedentary; T = trained; TC = total cholesterol; TG = triglycerides; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; HR = heart rate. * (n = 3–5).
