Data are presented as n or mean ± SD, unless reported otherwise. *Original data in articles in mL/min, uncertainty analysis used to change. AT = anaerobic threshold, CPAP = continuous positive airway pressure, Q = quasi-experimental single group designed study, R = retrospective study, RCT = randomized controlled trial.
