CIMT – carotid intima-media thickness, DBP – diastolic blood pressure, HR peak – heart rate peak, % HR max – percentage of maximal heart rate, IVSD – interventricular septum diameter in diastole, LVMI – left ventricle mass index, PWD – posterior wall diameter in diastole, SBP – systolic blood pressure, VE/VCO2 peak – peak ventilatory equivalent for CO2, VO2/kg peak – peak oxygen uptake per kg, VO2/kg rest – oxygen uptake per kg at rest, VO2 peak – peak oxygen uptake. Data are presented as means with standard deviation (mean ± SD) or as percentage (%) of total number; p-value ≤ 0.05 is considered as statistically significant.
