Data are . BMI: body mass index; FFM, fat-free mass; VO2peak: peak oxygen consumption; iAUC: incremental area under the curve; hs-CRP: high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; VCAM-1: vascular cell adhesion molecule 1; ICAM-1: intercellular adhesion molecule 1. Raw values are presented but data were log transformed for statistical analysis. ^Compared with INT pretest, .
