Data are mean (95% CI). ^a; ^#significantly different from CON (ANCOVA adjusted for baseline values); significant within the group change from baseline (repeated measures ANOVA); subjects’ characteristics were previously reported by Gram et al. [26]; CON, control group; BIKE, active commuting exercise group; MOD, moderate-intensity leisure-time exercise group; VIG, vigorous-intensity leisure-time exercise group; BMI, body mass index.
