  1. Spearman correlation test applied to assess the relationship between body composition parameters and metabolic syndrome components in the PA group and in the healthy control group.
  2. Bold values denote statistical significance at the P ≤ 0.05 level.
  3. BMI Body mass index, BP blood pressure, TG triglyceride, HDL high-density lipoprotein.
