CON = control; EX = exercise only; EXFS = exercise + food supplement. HDL = high-density lipoproteins; LDL = low-density lipoproteins; TC:HDL = total cholesterol-to-high-density lipoproteins ratio; VLDL = very low-density lipoproteins. *Main effect for time (p ≤ 0.05). aDifferent from PRE (p ≤ 0.017).
