LVEF 0.20 0.75
Aerobic capacity Metabolic equivalent 0.36 1.08*
Rate pressure product -0.14 0.91*
Strength (kilograms) 1.00* 0.65

Note: Cohen's d calculation: mean ∆/standard deviation average from two means

* significant large difference (Cohen's d ≥ 0.80). Moderate and large differences (Cohen's d ≥ 0.51) are denoted in dark gray cells; trivial differences (Cohen's d ≤ 0.20) are denoted in light gray cells. Cohen's d is based on a single pooled standard deviation; Cohen's d was corrected for dependence between means, using Morris and DeShon's [22] equation.
