| a n = 35 for physically active women, n = 13 for control women. b A weighted sum index was computed from self-reported annual walking (weighted by 0.6), running (1.0), cross-country skiing (0.7), swimming (4.0), cycling (0.3) on the basis of their relative energy expenditure and the average distance traveled within the time unit. Abbreviations: SBP= systolic blood pressure, DBP= diastolic blood pressure, RER= respiratory exchange ratio |
