Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Aerobic fitness was tested using a graded test on a cycle ergometer (Monark 874 E, Monark Exercise AB, Vansbro, Sweden). The starting load was 70 W with a cadence of 70 revolutions per minute (RPM). Every minute the resistance was increased by 35 W until the subject was exhausted (cadence <65 RPM). Oxygen uptake was measured continuously with a Cosmed K4b2 breath by a breath metabolism analyser (Cosmed Srl, Rome, Italy) and was calculated from the highest 30 s averaging interval at the conclusion of the test.
