Study design. Participants were quasi-randomly assigned to start either: (a) No Training, or (b) Exercise Training first. All participants were evaluated immediately prior to starting Exercise Training (Pre) and 12-weeks later after its completion (Post). About half of the participants were also evaluated 12-weeks prior to starting the Exercise Training (Baseline) and about half were evaluated 12-weeks after completing the program (Follow-up). Training occurred in either a Group or Combined (group/home) setting.
