Additionally, a main effect of time was observed for HRrest (p < 0.001, ή2 = 0.33), SBP (p < 0.001, ή2 = 0.43), DBP (p < 0.001, ή2 = 0.40), MAB (p < 0.001, ή2 = 0.48), HbA1c levels (p < 0.001, W = 0.23), serum insulin concentration (p < 0.001, W = 0.25), HOMA-index (p < 0.001, W = 0.28) and the MetS z-score (p < 0.001 ή2 = 0.61). Here, INS is linked to metabolic syndrome.
