Table 3. Mean and standard deviation of anti-atherogenic variables at baseline before and after 8-weeks, with (HSG) and without (CG) training.

		HSG (n = 11)	CG (n = 10)
HDL-c (mmol/L)	Pre	0.8 ± 0.1 †	1.7 ± 0.1
HDL-c (mmol/L)	Post	0.9 ± 0.1	0.9 ± 0.1 *
TAG (mmol/L)	Pre	1.1 ± 0.2 †	1.4 ± 0.2
TAG (mmol/L)	Post	1.1 ± 0.1	1.3 ± 0.2
Non HDL (mmol/L)	Pre	3.5 ± 0.7	2.8 ± 0.6
Non HDL (mmol/L)	Post	3.7 ± 1.3	2.9 ± 0.7
BDNF (ng·mL-1)	Pre	108.8 ± 56.7	66.1 ± 40.2
BDNF (ng·mL-1)	Post	92.6 ± 15.9	67.1 ± 43.9

Mean ± standard deviation. HDL-c = high density lipoprotein; TAG= triacylglycerol; Non HDL= non high density lipoprotein; BDNF= brain derived neurotropic factor; mmol/L = millimole per liter; ng·mL-¹ = nanograms per milliliter; HSG = high intensity aerobic exercise combined strength group; CG = control group;

* = significant difference compared with the pre-training moment (p < 0.05);

† = significant difference compared with the control group (p < 0.05).
