VO_2max per body weight (A), VO_2max (B), peak HR during maximal exercise (C), HR during submaximal cycling (D), and HR at rest (E) at baseline and after a 2-year follow-up period for a group playing floorball twice a week (FG) and a recreationally active control group (CG). Means ± SD are presented. * p < 0.05, significant effect compared to CG; ^#p < 0.05, significant within-group change from baseline to follow-up examination. bpm = beats/min; HR = heart rate; VO_2max = maximal oxygen uptake.
