Echocardiography | E/A | -0.14 | -0.44 |
E/e' | -0.48 | -0.81* | |
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 | |
Quality of life | Physical component | 0.58 | 1.00* |

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.
