Observed values are expressed as means ± standard deviation. HIIT: high-intensity interval training, MICT: moderate-intensity continuous training, delta () for the change from before to after intervention, T/C ratio: testosterone to cortisol ratio, GH: growth hormone, and FGF-21: fibroblast growth factor 21. Partial value for effect size (ES).
