Note: DBP: diastolic blood pressure; HR: heart rate; MBP: mean blood pressure; OUES: oxygen uptake efficiency slope; pVO₂: percentage related to VO_2peak; SBP: systolic blood pressure; T0: Baseline; T1: after 16-week intervention; T2: at 24-week follow up; VCO₂: carbon dioxide production; VE: ventilation; VO₂: oxygen uptake; VT: Ventilatory threshold; W: power output. Data shown as mean (M) and standard deviation (SD). P_W, according to Wilcoxon test; P_KW, according to Kruskall-Wallis test.
