Table 3.
Comparison of peak oxygen uptake (mL·min-1·kg-1) and peak heart rate (bpm) between the incremental sit-to-stand exercises and cycle-ergometer test. Values are presented as mean s (± standard deviation) (n = 13).

CE, cycle ergometer; HR, heart rate; ISTS, incremental sit-to-stand; peak VO2, peak oxygen uptake; Compl. Time: Completion time (sec). F-values were determined by the one-way analysis of variance with repeated measures.
