PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

Population: Randomized participants that completed cycle ergometry following each treatment period.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

Population: Includes participants randomized and treated who complete cycle ergometry at the end of the corresponding treatment period.

The work efficiency (oxygen uptake mL/min/kg body weight at a specified constant of 60 watts work rate for 3 minutes) during cycle ergometry at the end of each treatment period. This is reported as the work performed at 60 watts divided by the energy expended at 0 watts times 100, and reported on the percent scale..
