Data are presented as the mean (SD).
Significant difference between groups (ap<0.01), significant difference from baseline values (bp<0.01).
BMI, body mass index; FM, fat mass; FFM, fat free mass; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment-estimated insulin resistance; RER, respiratory exchange ratio, VO2max, maximal oxygen consumption, peak power: maximal power output developed during the charge-velocity test.
