(6 to 20 scale); RER = Respiratory Exchange Ratio. Note: "Pre-training" and "Post-training" were used for both groups to indicate pre- and post- testing; however, the control group did not walk-train. * p < 0.05 compared with pre-training. † p < 0.05 compared with the control group at each time point. |
