Laboratory values of participants before and after AEXT.

Variable	Participant; number	Pre-AEXT	Post-AEXT	Percent change
BMI (kg/m^2)	𝑛=42	31.4 ± 0.9	30.6 ± 0.9*	−2.5%
VO2 max (mL/kg/min)	𝑛=41	25.9 ± 0.9	28.2 ± 1.1**	8.9%
SBP (mm Hg)	𝑛=41	124.2 ± 1.9	123.6 ± 2.2	−0.5%
DBP (mm Hg)	𝑛=41	78.7 ± 1.1	78.9 ± 1.2	0.3%
Total cholesterol (mg/dL)	𝑛=35	190.9 ± 4.2	190.4 ± 5.2	−0.3%
LDL cholesterol (mg/dL)	𝑛=36	108.7 ± 3.6	111.9 ± 4.3	2.9%
HDL cholesterol (mg/dL)	𝑛=36	66.8 ± 3.3	65.6 ± 3.4	−1.8%
Triglycerides (mg/dL)	𝑛=36	83.0 ± 5.7	70.1 ± 3.3**	−15.5%

Participant number represents usable sample for variables.
Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. BMI: body mass index; SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein.
*Denotes significant differences pre- versus post-AEXT; 𝑃 < 0.05.
**Denotes significant differences pre- versus post-AEXT; 𝑃 < 0.01.
