- * Significant difference between groups from pre- to post-intervention. P < 0.05.
- TC, total cholesterol; HDL-C, high density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low density lipoprotein cholesterol; TG, triglycerides; CRP, C-Reactive Protein. Values are mean (SD).
- Body fat percentages are based upon data from 12 walkers and 12 controls.
- Blood lipids (TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, TG) are based upon data from 11 walkers and 9 controls.
- CRP levels are based upon data from 11 walkers and 8 controls
- All other variables are based upon data from 21 walkers and 12 controls.
