  1. CG – control group, EG – exercise group, EDG – exercise combined with diet group, SD – standard deviation, p < 0.05 – statistically significant difference, 𝜂p2 – effect size, a effect of intervention, between groups EDG vs. CG: p = 0.01; b effect of time, within group p < 0.01 vs. baseline; c effect of intervention-time interaction p < 0.01 vs. baseline .
