Outcome variables at baseline and six months follow-up for patients completing follow-up testing.

For the residential group, results of exercise tests at 4 weeks are shown. Change scores are between baseline and six months follow-up. If not otherwise stated, values are average ± standard deviation. Quality of life and blood markers were not measured at 4 weeks. EMM = Estimated Marginal Means, 95% CI = 95% Confidence Interval, VO2peak = Peak oxygen uptake, Perceived exertion is according to the 6–20 Borg scale, RER = respiratory exchange ratio, HRR, 1 min = heart rate recovery the first minute after ending an exercise test, HDL = high density lipoprotein cholesterol. HbA1c = glycated haemoglobin. *Significant change from baseline (within-group difference, p<0.05). †Significantly different change from baseline (between-group difference p<0.05).
