SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Pre-intervention (Baseline) and post-intervention (3 months)

Population: This variable was listed as a secondary outcome of the study that was later dropped by the investigators after a careful review of the literature. We decided not to pursue this outcome because it was not scientifically useful to address the original hypothesis.

Deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration will be measured using near-infrared spectroscopy during sub-maximal exercise before and after 3 months of study drug administration.
