Although the mean between group change in CRP was −1.49 mg/L, the exercise training was found to have a change in CRP that only approached significance ( P = .066).
Although the mean between group change in CRP was −1.49 mg/L, the exercise training was found to have a change in CRP that only approached significance ( P = .066).
The authors also reported a borderline significant correlation between change in percent body fat and change in CRP in women randomized to exercise ( P = .069).
However, in considering the overall effect of exercise time, the investigators did find a significant trend of decreased CRP levels with increased exercise time.
