Adjusted generalized estimating equations of the effect of different interventions upon the Framingham risk score. FA: intervention group, including patients that completed the supervised training (n = 53) and dropouts (n = 28) (intention-to-treat approach); DA: active controls, self-directed physical activity performed twice a week (n = 43); PI: inactive controls, patients remained physically inactive throughout the experiment. Solid lines indicate significant differences between groups. *: P < 0.05 vs. baseline. Analyzes adjusted for sex, chronological age, body mass index and hypertensive/statin drugs ingestion. Power (1-beta): 1.00
