Each session consisted of cycle ergometry for 30 minutes at 80% of peak work capacity and progressive resistance exercises for 30 minutes. Supplemental oxygen was provided as appropriate. The other group trained at home, also for three sessions per week over the same 8 weeks. The first session was supervised, followed by weekly phone contact. Cycle ergometers were loaned to participants for the aerobic training for the 8-week period. The target intensity was 60% of peak work capacity for 40 minutes per session.
