↓ Metabolic syndrome

*Comparison between intervention group (or equivalent) and control group after the end of intervention (or follow-up assessment)

** Given the small sample size and nature of the pilot study, formal inferential statistics are not appropriate, within-group effect sizes for continuous outcome variables were computed to evaluate the magnitude of pre-post and follow-up

**** Effect sizes were calculated by dividing the mean difference (baseline to posttest and baseline to follow-up) by the baseline standard deviation, and evaluated as ranges small (d = 0.20), medium (d = 0.50), and large (d = 0.80)
