Data are presented as . NGT = normal glucose tolerant; PD = prediabetes; BMI = body mass index; VO₂peak = aerobic capacity relative to mean body weight (kg); FFM = fat-free mass; WC = waist circumference; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure; TG = triglycerides; HDL-c = high-density lipoprotein; HbA₁c = hemoglobin A₁c. Unpaired two-tailed -test was utilized to determine group differences. Significance accepted at .
