Maximum work rate (MWR) was measured for all participants before the first and the last supervised training session.
The measured MWR were compared using the paired-t test. There was a significant improvement regarding the pre-training MWR and the MWR 12 weeks later at the end of the training program being (t= 10.43, p =0.000). The difference of MWR between the pre and post exercise training program is presented in Fig. 4.
