Table 4. Changes over time in metabolic fitness. Data are means (±SD).

	Control (n=16)	Stairclimbing (n=29)
Total Cholesterol (mmol·L^-1)	-.19 (.61)	-.02 (.50)
HDL-C (mmol·L^-1)	+.09 (.30)	+.14 (.17)
LDL-C (mmol·L^-1)	-.18 (.59)	-.13 (.49)
TC: HDL-C ratio	-.61 (1.42)	-.79 (1.40)
Triglycerides (mmol·L^-1)	-.10 (0.27)	-.03 (0.58)

No significant differences in changes over time between groups (p > 0.05). HDL-C = high density lipoprotein cholesterol, LDL-C = low density lipoprotein cholesterol, TC:HDL-C = ratio of total cholesterol to high density lipoprotein cholesterol.
