Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main study parameters is PCr/ATP ratio, a measurement of phosphocreatine to<br /><br>ATP ratio using MR spectroscopy. This assess skeletal muscle metabolism. </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Secondary parameters/endpoints are:<br /><br>- Microvascular function (glycocalyx thickness, % skin hyperaemic response)<br /><br>- Exercise tolerance (6 minute walk test distance) </p><br>
