FIGURE 2.

Effect of exercise training on aerobic capacity, peak workload and peak heart rate. (a) Aerobic capacity (${\dot{V}}_{{\mathrm{O}}_2\mathrm{peak}}$) at baseline and after 4 and 8 weeks of ET in highlanders with CMS. (b) The corresponding measurements of baseline peak workload (W_peak) and its change after 4 and 8 weeks of ET. Individual values overlap due to similar workload of participants at each time point. (c) The same comparison of baseline, 4 and 8 weeks for peak HR (HR_peak). Bars represent means, and repeated measures of each participant are connected by dashed lines. Changes in ${\dot{V}}_{{\mathrm{O}}_2}$, workload and HR at peak exercise were assessed employing repeated measures one‐way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparison test. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. baseline
