  1. SH = sedentary hypertensive, TH = trained hypertensive, DH1 = 1-week-detrained hypertensives, DH2 = 2-week-detrained hypertensives. BW = body weight, BP = blood pressure, kITT = glucose decay constant rate during insulin tolerance test, ET = maximal velocity in the exercise test. n = 8 for all groups. * p < 0.05 vs. S, † p < 0.05 vs. baseline. Repeated measures ANOVA (Tukey's post-hoc test).
