  1. Data expressed as number (percentage) or mean ± standard deviation. Effect sizes were calculated using Cohen’s d. Δ=the difference in % between patients and controls, 6MWT= 6-minute walk test distance, IPAQ= International Physical Activity Questionnaire, PA=physical activity, MET= metabolic equivalent, *significant after Bonferroni-correction (p=0.005), CI=confidence interval.
