Table 5 Comparison of the cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) between both groups

Variables	Group A	Group B	P value
Variables	(n = 30)	(n = 30)	P value
EC_MAX (Minutes)	12,4 (4,6—13,4)^c	12,85 (7—14,9)^c	0,544^a
HR_MAX (bpm)	189 (111—250)^c	186,07 (± 8,45)^b	0,127^a
Exercise duration (Minutes)	12,12 (± 2,43)^b	12,42 (9,34—18,33)^c	0,496^a
SBP_MAX (mmHg)	155,53 (± 17,91)^b	143 (104—208)^c	0,026^a
DBP_MAX (mmHg)	79,5 (52—145)^c	76 (51—116)^c	0,728^a

Group A: Study group. Group B: Control group
EC_MAX Maximum exercise capacity, HR_MAX Maximum heart rate, SBP_MAX Maximum systolic blood pressure, DBP_MAX Maximum diastolic blood pressure
X^a: Student’s T test has been used for parametric tests
X^b: Mann–Whitney U test has been used for non-parametric tests
X^c: “mean” and “standard deviation” values have been indicated in parenthesis for parameters that suit normal distribution
X^d: “median” and “minimum–maximum” values have been indicated in parenthesis for parameters that does not suit normal distribution
