  Fig. 1. Inclusion and course of the study. AIT, Aerobic interval training, LED, Low energy diet. ITT: Intention-to-treat including all participants attending the follow-up. PP: per protocol. PP 12-weeks: including all participants who met per protocol criteria. PP 1 year: including all participants who completed the 12-week intervention per protocol and attended the one-year follow-up

  Fig. 2. Change in the distribution of LDL and HDL from baseline to 1 year. a Changes baseline to 1 year in the distribution of LDL-subfractions by the change in the proportion that each subfraction constitutes of total LDL. b Changes in the distribution of HDL-subfractions by the change in the proportion that each subfraction constitutes of total HDL. Error-bars: 95% CI. Within-group difference: *p < 0.05, ***p ≤ 0.001. No between-group differences were seen. AIT aerobic interval training, LED low energy diet, LDL low density lipoprotein, HDL high density lipoprotein
