Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change from baseline of peak oxygen uptake on graded exercise.

Time Frame: After 3 month exercise training

Changes in physical fitness after 3 month exercise training. This will be measured by a cardiopulmonary exercise test with recording of maximal oxygen uptake during incremental exercise.
