  1. FA formally active group, DA declared active group, PI physically inactive group. BMI body mass index, HDL-C high density lipoprotein – cholesterol, LDL-C low density lipoprotein – cholesterol, SBP systolic blood pressure, DBP diastolic blood pressure. Note: Intention-to-treat: FA includes individuals that completed the supervised training (n = 53) and dropouts (n = 28). Interaction refers to the interaction group vs. time. Analyses adjusted for sex, chronological age, body mass index and hypertensive/statin drugs ingestion. Values presented through estimated marginal means (95% confidence interval).
