- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximal aerobic capacity measured using a precalibrated cycle ergometer (Excalibur, LODE, Groningen, The Netherlands), cycling at 50 rpm. After a one-minute period cycling at 0 watts, participants will follow a 10 watt/min ramp protocol up to exhaustion. Oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production will be measured by an automatic gas analysis system. Measures will be taken at baseline (i.e. prior to randomization), 6 months after randomization (end of the interventions) and 12 months after randomization.
