Abbreviations: AEX, aerobic exercise training group; CTL, control group; HDL‐C, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL‐C, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol; ns, not significant. Values are expressed as mean (95% confidence interval). P for comparisons between pre‐training and post‐training values.
