Data mean ± standard deviation. ET: endurance training condition (); P-SIT: passive sprint-interval training condition (); A-SIT: active sprint-interval training condition (); CON: nonexercising control condition (). Significant within-group change from baseline (). Significant between-group change (). GXT: graded exercise test at 85% of age-predicted heart rate maximum (); VO2: volume of oxygen uptake.
