Group 0 comprises patients who do and did not engage in physical activity. Group 1 comprises patients who used to do physical activity on a regular basis and those who currently engage only sporadically in physical activity. Group 2 comprises patients who do moderately strenuous types of physical activities on a regular basis. Group 3 comprises patients who engage in demanding physical activities on a regular basis. Only test results with statistical significance are shown. Significance p < 0.05.
