Data are reported as means (SD) before and after 12 weeks of multicomponent training for 52 women. SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; NO₂ = nitrite concentration; MDA = malondialdehyde; GSH = glutathione; TAC = total antioxidant capacity; EFT = elbow flexion test; SS = sit and stand up; 6 min WT = six-minute walk test. compared with before intervention (the same group). Linear mixed-effects models.
