Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes 2
Time Frame: 7 months
Distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes 2 measured with the 6 minute walking test (6MWT) - The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.
Distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes 1
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes 1 measured with the 6 minute walking test (6MWT) - The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.
Distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes 0
Time Frame: Baseline
Distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes 0 measured with the 6 minute walking test (6MWT) - The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.
Distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes 3
Time Frame: 12 months
Distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes 3 measured with the 6 minute walking test (6MWT) - The 6 Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance in meters covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.
