Table 3. Changes over time in morphological and cardiorespiratory fitness. Data are means (±SD).

	Control (n=16)	Stairclimbing (n=29)
Body mass (kg)	-.1 (1.3)	+.1 (.9)
BMI (kg·m^-2)	-.0 (0.5)	-. (.3)
Body fatness (%)	-.7 (2.3)	-.5 (2.1)
Systolic blood pressure (mm Hg)	-2.2 (3.2)	-2.0 (9.6)
Diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg)	-.2 (3.4)	-2.1 (7.0)
VO_2max(mL·kg^-1·min^-1)	+.5 (1.5)	+2.6 (2.1) *

* Change from baseline significantly different from change in controls (p < 0.05).
BMI = body mass index, VO_2max = maximal oxygen consumption.
