Abbvreviations: EDV: end-diastolic volume, FEV1/FVC: one-second forced expiratory volume / forced vital capacity, LV: left ventricle, RBBB: right bundle branch block, RV: right ventricle, SV: stroke volume, VAT: oxygen consumption at anaerobic threshold

Data are expressed as mean (± SD), median (range), or percentage (number).

Maximal effort is defined as RQ ≥ 1.1 at peak exertion
