A Heat map illustrating baseline correlations. Pearson’s r values are depicted, where the values are given in the coloured scale bar. B Absolute change in BMI and HOMA-IR per study group over the twelve-week intervention period (Δ = t12—t0). *(p < .05) indicates a significant difference between groups, analysed by rmANCOVA. CON = control group; EX (two-group-comparison) = exercise group (with and without nutrition instructions); EX (three-group-comparison) = exercise group without nutrition instructions; EX + NUTR = exercise group with nutrition instructions; BMI = Body-Mass-Index, HOMAi = HOMA-Index; EMRA CD8 +  = Effector Memory re-expressing CD45RA CD8 + cells; TRP = tryptophane; KYN = kynurenine; QA = quinolinic acid; KA = kynurenic acid
