*P < 0.05. CHF: congestive heart failure; CHAMPS: community healthy activities model program for seniors; CGS: comfortable gait speed; GUG: get up and go; tcdeficit: lag in oxygen uptake at the beginning of exercise (oxygen deficit); tcEPOC: excess oxygen uptake above rest following exercise (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption); US: unipedal stance; VO2peak: peak oxygen uptake.
