The participants were divided to an experimental (n=19, age: 41.07±5.58 years, height: 165.58±6.48 cm, mass: 58.74±4.25 kg, BMI: 21.41± 1.52 kg/m2, physical activity per week: 4.05±2.21 hours) and a control group (n=19, age: 41.18±5.46 years, height: 169.21±5.07 cm, mass: 59.03±3.68 kg, BMI: 20.70±1.29 kg/m2, physical activity per week: 4.08±1.68 hours).
