  1. Confidence intervals (CI) are presented as intervals of mean difference between pre- and post-values
  2. WMS IV Weschler Memory Scale (4th Ed.) (BCOG Brief Cognitive Screener, LMI & LMII logical memory delayed recall (DR) or cumulative percentage (CP)); TMT A or B Trail Making Test version A or B, WAIS IV Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale (4th Ed.) (BD block design, LNS letter number sequence, CD coding), COWAT Controlled Oral Word Association Test (Z Z-score, G gender, A age, ED education). VO2peak = the highest rate of oxygen consumed measured regardless of reaching VO2 plateau. Diff. = difference between pre- and post-values. The asterisk (*) denotes results were significant (p < 0.05)
