  1. The adjusted means were estimated from the ANCOVA model with baseline values as a covariate; The p-values are derived from the ANCOVA analysis for the genotype group effect; CI, confidence interval; HIIT, high-intensity interval training; II, insertion/insertion genotype; ID/DD, combined insertion/deletion and deletion/deletion genotypes; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; MAP: mean arterial pressure; baPWV, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; †, significant within-group change from baseline (p < 0.05); ‡, trend toward a significant within-group change (p < 0.10).
