*p < 0.05; 6-MTW: 6-Minute Treadmill Walk; SBP: Systolic blood pressure; DBP: Diastolic Blood Pressure; HR: Heart Rate; RPP: Rate Pressure Product; Superscripts (a, b, c, d) for a particular variable, mode means with different superscript are significantly different (p < 0.05); Mode means with same superscripts are not significantly (p > 0.05) different when only one contrast is significant, one of the cell means has no superscript attached. The pair of cell means that is significant has different superscripts.
