Biochemical factors
INSULIN RESISTANCE, INSULIN SENSITIVITY
Alterations in biochemical indices are shown in Changes in lipid profile and glycemic indices of the participants throughout the study.Data are presented as mean (SD) and mean difference (95% CI).TG, triglyceride; TC, total cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; FBS, fasting blood sugar; HOMA-IR, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance; QUICKI, quantitative insulin sensitivity check index; MD, mean difference; CI, confidence interval.p-value based on the paired samples t-test (comparison of data within the groups post-intervention).p-value based on the independent samples t-test (comparison of data between the groups at baseline).p-value based on analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) (comparison of data between the groups post-intervention, adjusted for baseline values, changes in physical activity, energy intake, and BMI).Absolute effect size (95% CI) based on the mentioned ANCOVA models; bold values indicate statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).
