  1. VO2max = maximal oxygen consumption; 0 mo/12 mo = measurements at baseline and after 12 months of intervention; Net diff. = difference of change compared to the control group (analysis of covariance); 95% CI = 95% confidence interval for the net difference; Weight = body weight; Sit-up = sit-up test, number of repetitions; HBA1c = glycated hemoglobin; Insulin = serum insulin; Cholesterol = total cholesterol; HDL = high-density cholesterol; LDL = low-density cholestrol; Triglycerides = blood triglyceride concentration; SBP = systolic blood pressure; E = mitral inflow early diastolic velocity; A = mitral inflow late diastolic velocity.
