ACE I/D = angiotensin converting enzyme insertion deletion polymorphism;

Low = < median dietary calcium intake; High = ≥ median dietary calcium intake;

VO2max = maximal oxygen consumption; SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure.

*p < 0.05, p < 0.01 exercise vs non-exercise control
