Baseline correlations between VO2, demographic, and TMS measures across all participants with comparison p-value.
| Metric | VO2_Pre | BMI | Education | RMT | iSP | ppIHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| VO2_Pre | X | X | X | X | X | X |
| BMI | −0.54 (p = 0.01) | X | X | X | X | X |
| Education | 0.43 (p = 0.04) | −0.37 ns | X | X | X | X |
| RMT | −0.49 (p = 0.04) | 0.36 ns | −0.54 (p = 0.01) | X | X | X |
| iSP | −0.10 ns | −0.02 ns | −0.23 ns | −0.03 ns | X | X |
| ppIHI | −0.11 ns | 0.15 ns | 0.01 ns | 0.18 ns | −0.35 ns | X |
Significant correlations were evident between estimated volume of oxygen consumption (VO2), education, resting motor threshold (RMT). Ipsilateral silent period (iSP) and paired pulse interhemispheric inhibition (ppIHI) were not correlated with baseline demographics. Correlations use Spearman rho statistic. BOLD denotes statistical significance below p = 0.05.
