Data were adjusted for age and gender and presented as mean ± SE. BMI: body mass index, PBF: percent body fat, HR: heart rate, SBP: systolic blood pressure, DBP: diastolic blood pressure, : maximum oxygen consumption, HDL: high density lipoprotein, LDL: low density lipoprotein, and TG: triglycerides.
