- Values as expressed as median (Q1-Q3). W12 values were compared to BL values by the Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test
-
aCalculation was based on the U shape relationship between walking metabolic cost and speed [43]
-
bThe median HRmean value was calculated for each participant through all her/his walking sessions, to derive the median HRmean value of all participants
-
cWalk vs. strength-walk group, p = 0.029 (Mann–Whitney test)
-
dWalk vs. strength-walk group, p = 0.027 (Mann–Whitney test)
- No significant differences were observed between the two training groups for adherence, total and per session energy expenditure, and HRmean
-
