Data are mean ± standard deviation. ET: endurance training exercise group, ; P-SIT: passive sprint-interval training exercise group, ; A-SIT: active sprint-interval training exercise group, ; CON: control group, . FFM: total body fat free mass; FM: total body fat mass; SAT: subcutaneous adipose tissue; VAT: abdominal visceral adipose tissue; TAT: total abdominal adipose tissue. There were no significant pre-to-post or between-condition differences in body composition measures after the study interventions ().
