Name Time Method <br> 1. VO2peak measured during CPET (CPET-VO2peak) using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) performed on an electronically braked cycle ergometer (Lode Corival Rehab, Lode BV, Groningen, the Netherlands) where continuous breath-by-breath analysis was obtained during the test using an ergospirometry system calibrated for respiratory gas analysis (Vyntus CPX, CareFusion, Hochberg, Germany) measured at basline (T0) and 10 weeks (T1)<br> 2. Peak work rate achieved during the steep ramp test (SRT-WRpeak) using an electronically braked cycle ergometer (Lode Corival Rehab Lode BV, Groningen, the Netherlands) measured at basline (T0) and 10 weeks (T1)<br>
