  1. * Baseline = Adjusted blood pressure (Mean ± SEM) of the pre-experiment 20 min period of seated rest for non-exercise control, LIGHT and MODERATE. Baseline BP did not differ among experiments so that average baseline BP for the three experiments is presented in Table 2; Post-Pre Experiment Change = Hourly blood pressure change after the experiment minus baseline blood pressure averaged over 9 hr.
  2. **p < 0.05, †p < 0.01, ‡p < 0.001 exercise vs non-exercise control; §p < 0.05 exercise vs non-exercise control with vs without the metabolic syndrome.
  3. LIGHT, 40% VO2peak; MODERATE, 60% VO2peak.
