Table 2 Cardiovascular and respiratory tests. Results for univariate test: One-Way Anova or Kruskal–Wallis test, Paired Samples T-test. Cardiovascular and respiratory data pre 6MWT and post 6MWT. In data of post 6MWT are in bold the differences that are statically significant (paired t test) comparing pre and post 6MWT. Percentual change of the cardiovascular and respiratory data after 6MWT.
