Data are expressed as means (SD). BMI, body mass index; BSA, body surface area; BSA/M, body surface area per body weight; VO_2max, maximal oxygen consumption during the treadmill exercise. Sasang typology: TE, Taeum type; SE, Soeum type; SY, Soyang type. values were calculated using one-way analysis of variance. Tukey’s HSD post hoc test: ^aTE differed from SE; ^bTE differed from SY; ^cSE differed from SY.
