Day0 metrics | Main study group | DGA group | Placebo group |
---|---|---|---|
Average Age | 56 years (from 50.3 to 60.9) | 56.5 | 55.2 |
Average BMI | 25.3 (from 20.1 to 31.7) | 25.0 | 25.8 |
Avg. VO2max | 35.5 (from 21.8 to 48.8) | 35.1 | 36.1 |
Female/Male | 16 females and 11 males | 10/7 | 6/4 |
Notes: unit in BMI = weight in kg/(length in meters)2, unit in VO2max = O2 ml/kg/min. VO2max test was based on indirect measurement with a bicycle ergometer (Santtila et al., 2013). All participants executed this routine test of the JyU Sports Laboratory successfully.
