EMM  =  Estimated Marginal Means, 95% CI = 95% Confidence Interval, VO2peak  =  Peak oxygen uptake, Perceived exertion is according to the 6–20 Borg scale, RER  =  respiratory exchange ratio, HRR, 1 min  =  heart rate recovery the first minute after ending an exercise test, HDL  =  high density lipoprotein cholesterol. HbA1c  =  glycated haemoglobin.
*Significant change from baseline (within-group difference, p<0.05).
