baseline RFTs
There is no significant difference in lung function and exercise capacity at baseline between the 2 groups. However, the lung function and walking capacity appeared to be lower in the cycle group than the walk group at baseline.

Baseline RFTs
Was there a significant difference in baseline FEV1 between the two groups (56% walk, 48% cycle) and could this explain the results?
