Physical activity, dietary intake, and anthropometric measurements
No significant disparities were observed in the physical activity (METs) or dietary intake at baseline in either group (Dietary intake and physical activity of the participants throughout the study.Data are presented as mean (SD) and mean difference (95% CI).METs, metabolic equivalents (MET—min/week); MD, mean difference; CI, confidence interval.p-value based on repeated-measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) (comparison of data with more than two measurements 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 and changes in physical activity).p-value based on analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) (comparison of data between the groups post-intervention, adjusted for baseline values, changes in physical activity, and energy intake).p-value based on ANCOVA (comparison of data between the groups post-intervention, adjusted for baseline values).Absolute effect size (95% CI) based on the mentioned ANCOVA models; bold values indicate statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).Changes in anthropometric indices of the participants throughout the study.Data are presented as mean (SD) and mean difference (95% CI).BMI, body mass index; WC, waist circumference; HC, hip circumference; WHR, waist to hip ratio; NC, neck circumference; 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 the 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, and energy intake).Absolute effect size (95% CI) based on the mentioned ANCOVA models; bold values indicate statistically significant differences (p < 0.05).Percent changes for anthropometric
