  1. Values are given as mean ± SD; IG intervention group, IG-GP IG participants, recruited from GP, IG-nGP IG participants not recruited from GP, HFmax maximum heart rate; *p < 0.05, different from IG-nGP; **p < 0.01, different from IG-nGP
  2. aWithout considering different modes of training
  3. bAll values indicating “moderate” intensity according to the ACSM [41], with the exception of the endurance and multimodal training in the IG-GP subsample, which demonstrate “vigorous” intensity
  4. cAll values indicating “moderate” intensity according to the ACSM [41], with the exception of the multimodal training in the IG and in the IG-GP subsample, which demonstrate “light” intensity
