At the maximum exercise loading time point, the exercise group showed significantly higher values for time to reach VO2max (RVO2max)(p = 0.03). The exercise group also showed a significantly higher maximal values of ventilation (VEmax, p = 0.01), VO2 (p = 0.01), VO2max (p = 0.01), and O2 pulse (p = 0.01). No significant differences were observed in the maximal heart rate (HR max, Table 3).
