There was a significant increase in VO₂ of both groups from minute 1 to minute 2, and from minute 2 to minute 3 (*p > 0.05). VO₂ in minute 5 was also significantly higher than minute 3, but only in the unimpaired group (^†p > 0.05). No significant difference in VO₂ existed between groups at any time point (p > 0.05). Note: 6MWT: 6 minute walk test.
