BDC calorie prescription, energy intake suggested in run-in phase. PTDC calorie prescription, energy intake suggested after run-in phase.
BDC calorie intake, energy intake deduced by food diaries in run-in phase. PTDC calorie Intake, energy intake deduced by food diaries after run-in phase.
Statistically significant values are in bold.
BDC, baseline data collection; CRF, cardiorespiratory fitness; GLM, general linear model; HIIT, high-intensity interval training; MD, median; MICT, moderate intensity continuous training; PTDC, post training data collection; VO₂peak, peak oxygen uptake.
