Change in oxygen uptake (A), rate blood pressure product (B), body mass index (C), and C-reactive protein concentration (D) at 3 and 6 months in IG and CG. Changes are calculated from baseline to 3 and 6 months of intervention within each group (presented as boxes and whiskers [median, quartiles, 5 to 95 percentiles]. *Significant difference (p < 0.05) between change in IG and CG
