Data are presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD): Significant p-values marked in bold.
Cardiorespiratory fitness in mL∙min−1, has previously been published.
#Differences between group at post measurements are adjusted for baseline measurements.
NORM; normal diet, LCHF; Low-carbohydrate high-fat diet, NORM-EX; normal diet combined with exercise, LCHF-EX; Low-carbohydrate high-fat diet combined with exercise.
