Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Ergospirometric parameters (VO2, volume of carbonic gas (VCO2), ventilation (VE), and respiratory exchange rate (RER)) measured continuously during an incremental treadmill test to exhaustion. The anaerobic threshold (AT) was determined by ventilatory techniques during the ergospirometry test. The electrocardiogram was used to monitor heart rate (HR) throughout the test. VO2-HR relationship has not changed after training[this outcome was also assessed at baseline and 3 months from baseline when the intervention treatment has ended]
