a indicate significance (p < 0.05); values are expressed as mean and standard deviation. CB, center-based; TL, tele-assessment; 6MWT, six-minute walk test; HR, heart rate; RPE, rate of perceived exertion scale (1–10); SpO2, oxygen saturation; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure.
