Note: METs: metabolic equivalents of task; CT: combined training; MT: multicomponent training; <0.35: trivial; 0.35 to 0.80: small effect; 0.80 to 1.50: moderate effect; ≥1.50: large effect for effect size Cohen’s d. * Statistical difference p < 0.05 for pre versus post. Repeated-measures two-way ANOVA was used.
